Should I get my real estate license for flipping?

[Terri Hollinsworth]

I live in Orlando Fl, and currently building my team to start flipping houses. I currently have a full time job but I would eventually like to do real estate investing full time.

Now I have a general contractor and possible investors. I need to find a good broker to work with.

My question is should I get my real estate license to find my own ideals and save on some costs associated with paying an agent? Or should I just find a good agent?

I want to find my team and finances before I go looking for my first deal.

I was also thinking of sending some direct mail or cold calling.

Thanks!

Terri

Read the entire post my friend. By the looks of your photo, I've been doing this longer than you've been alive. CLEARLY, I'm must be doing something right. If you carry a license just so you can get comps, then YES, you are clearly doing something really wrong. Hang in there little buddy, experience will fatten your bank account. 

Thanks for setting me straight.  I'm not sure what I was thinking by pretending I knew anything about flipping houses.  

How embarrassing!!!
