What are the benefits of obtaining your RE license?

[Samuel Coicou]

Greetings investors! As the title suggests, I would like to know how obtaining a real estate license helps a real estate investor. The biggest benefit I know of is having access to the MLS but what else justifies getting the license? (Not that the MLS isn't a phenomenal tool)

For example, do you get properties at a discount, or are certain fees omitted because you are a real estate agent? (Are you somehow saving money by being licensed) Can a wholesaler benefit from getting a license? Etc.. 

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
