Wholesaling with a real estate license

[N/A N/A]

i'm a license realtor, primarily dealing in commercial/investment properties. I'm fairly new to the business and i want to get into investing myself, and everything i've read about flipping says wholesaling is a good way to get started.

Here's my question: isn't wholesaling basically investment property brokerage without a license? what's the difference between a wholesaler finding a good deal, writing a contract, then selling the contract for a profit, and someone like me finding a good deal, writing an offer, and getting my commission from the deal? would rehabbers rather work with wholesalers than realtors? would the SELLERS rather work with wholesalers than realtors?
