A question before I sign up for a real estate license class

I am about to register for a real estate license class, solely for my own investments and MLS access (and so I won't need to bother some other real estate agent to write lowball offers for me), but I have a question first.

I have no interest in buying or selling houses for other people. I don't intend to take on a single client other than myself (or maybe a friend in the unlikely event that a friend wants to buy or sell). Are there brokers out there that will allow me to hang my license up with them so I can do my own deals (and just pay them a fee on a per deal basis) without ever having to help a client, and without any pressure at all from them to do anything?

I'm in Massachusetts, by the way, so if anybody knows of such a broker, let me know.

Thats exactly what I do with my license.  I'm with Keller Williams now, but know the managing partner real well so don't pay normal fees there. 

There are definitely brokers that will do that.  I got offered $200 per close from another investor that is a broker.  Plenty of them out there, but you'll have to network to find them, they wont be with any name you recognize.
