When flipping houses, is it better to get your own real estate license or just have a licensed agent help you?

Dan asked:

I just got my real estate license and I have found a broker to hold it. I only plan to do about 2 transactions a year. Is it worth it to continue to be a licensed agent for my transactions or should I just find an experienced agent in the future? I work full time and I plan to do about 2 renovations a year. Thanks for your help.

Melody asked:

Can someone give the advantages and disadvantages of not using your own real estate agent to purchase a home? We have never bought a home before, but we consider ourselves to be pretty educated on the subject, as we have done a lot of research. We would most likely use the agent that the seller is using to help us with the paperwork and everything. Has anyone done this, and what would you recommend?

chilask asked:

I intend to run my own real estate investment company and would like the following questions answered. My understanding is that the pros use hard money to fund their deals and if they dont sell the rent the property. After some analysis i realized that after rehabing the property and you decide to rent, 90% of the time the rental doesnt cover the mortagage. How long do you have to carry the negative loss assuming you have 10 properties at one time ?
