I just got my real estate license and am now searching for a broker firm to align with. I don't plan to become a real estate agent, but instead just want to buy properties to use as long-term rentals for investments. Since this will be a part-time job for me aside from my work full time job, I plan to start small, with just a single triplex or quadplex. Later, I hope to expand from there over the next few years. Can anyone lend any tips about how to find the best type of broker for my situation? What should I look for in a broker? Or, can you suggest specific brokerages that might be a good match for me? I'm located in the San Diego area, and am open to either small or large brokerages. Thank you!
Too bad you aren't in NYC. I just opened a brokerage and am looking for agents like yourself. Hope that some brokers from San Diego chime in here. You definitely don't want to be paying a monthly fee or a % transaction fee when you are initially just looking to buy properties for yourself.

I was the same way. I have my RE lic in Texas. I found some 'discount broker' (I now am under a buddy). But it was like $200 a year and $200 per sale/buy when a commission is made (so $0 unless you're doing a transaction where you earn a commission)
Hello Aimee, one of my colleagues in the office has a broker's license and may be able to help you. I can ask her if you want me to. As @Cody L. said, you should find someone who won't charge you much, especially if you're only going to be buying for yourself.
