Does flipper need to be real estate agent as well?

[Ashley Zhang]

Hi everyone, I am a new investor in co. I am looking for my 1st invest  property currently. While doing my research, I found oftentimes, a flipper always either a real estate agent themselves, or married to one, or at least is very close to one. I am a CPA myself and my hubby is a contractor, so I am thinking is that necessary for me to be a licenced agent ? Thanks for any opion!
