Question regarding the License (EXP realty or Not? )

[Jason Nguyen]

Hello everyone,

I have a question that I am not sure what to do with my real estate license as a newbie in this world. My goal is that I would like to develop my career in the property management and also managed my own real estate investments. I currently got the job as Property Administrator with JLL, and they said that my real estate license can be under JLL's umbrella. However, I did my own research with Exp Realty which they do provide the licensees with all the trainings online, multiple listing service membership and flexible hours that I learn and practice after business hours. I just love to look at houses and doing my own research on houses price on different location in Washington State. Other than that, I am not planning to seek buyers/sellers through the brokerage since I love my full-time job in property management industry. 

Do you guys think that should I still hang my license with my property management company, or should I join the Exp Realty in order to have the ability to do my own research on the market with Exp Realty's Resources? Are there any other free resources that I can register if I want to do market research without joining the Exp Realty? (Because the monthly cost is $85/month which I am not sure is it worth it ? ) 

I really appreciate your kindness and your responses in this matter.

Jason
