Do I need a real estate license to do wholesale in Nashville?

[Jaime Rosenzweig]

I am getting conflicting answers from people. I just let my real estate license expire. I do not want to be a traditional agent. I am hoping to get into wholesale. I am learning. Agents are telling me I need to be a licensed real estate agent in nashville to do any real estate trans as ruin where I earn money. Other people tell me I do not need a license at all. Seeking guidance!!!!

@Luka Milicevic Agreed, Blackwell Realty is the Jam. 

Wholesaling isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Having a real estate license is a good thing when negotiating with Sellers. If they want way too high of a price, the best way to get that obviously is to list with a realtor. Guess what? That could be you! Now, I don't advise this as a way to get listings...that would not be ethical. But when you've built a rapport with sellers and they want to use you regardless, and you have given the proper disclosures, game on. 

Also, most of your competition, and most of the big wholesale companies in Nashville have licensed agents doing their acquisitions.
