Agent or Brokers License

[Tyler Hayes]

Not sure if I am posting in the right area, so let me know if I should move this somewhere!

Currently my partner and I are looking to get into flipping/renting out a few properties. We have a construction company and a remodeling company currently, so moving to flips and rentals is what we believe to be our next step. We are a little stuck on whether I should get my brokers license, and keep everything in house, or just become an agent and hang my license somewhere. I am not planning on bringing on any other agents in the near future, and we are planning on expanding pretty quickly. If I don't get my brokers license up front and become an agent, there is a two year waiting list before I can apply and get my brokers license. Anybody have their brokers license for their investments? What benefits do you see from it? Drawbacks?
