New Real Estate Agent moving to Flexible position

[Tohosa Twofeathers]

I am currently a brand new real estate agent. I want to become an investor, whether it be buy and hold, flip, wholesale or any other real estate venture. My question is, how do I maintain my license without working for a "broker" My current broker that is sponsoring my license is from Century 21, but they are following the Mike Ferry System and want me to make X number of calls per week in order to work for them. I then would be unable to search for my own deals. Help!! I feel like I am trapped becoming a "cold calling" entry level agent. I am ready to find my own deals and invest!
