RE license for flipping?

[Christopher Chamberlain]

Good afternoon BP. I am just starting out in RE investing. I haven't made any deals yet. Trying to transition from educating to doing. I am signed up for a real estate license class. Now my focus would be fix and flip and wholesaling. I thought getting my license would only help with experience, knowledge, networking and perhaps adding some credibility. One thing I have noticed though is that most flippers and wholesalers do not have their license. Is there any particular reason for that? Wasn't sure if maybe there were some ethical concerns with being an agent and wholesaling at the same time. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
