New to this, Is it worth it to get a real estate license?

[Clint Olsen]

Hi all! 

My name is clint and I am just getting started in real estate investing. This is new to me but I'm confident i can be successful in this business and I'm excited to become part of the bigger pockets community. My plan is to get my real estate license, i figure It will help me not only sell my houses i fix and flip but also give me a good understanding of real estate. Also want to get into rentals. Is it worth getting a real estate license? Maybe you guys can give me some insight on this. I just recently sold my house and made some good money on it, part of which I would like to use to help start investing in real estate the other part to buy me another primary residence. I am open to any suggestions and advice ! Just ordered "The book on flipping house" as well as "The book on estimating rehab costs." Thanks ahead for any input!
