Licensed Attorney Considering Real Estate Exam & Requirements for Own Deals

[Marie Garcia]

I'm a licensed attorney that does real estate investing/management on the side. I am considering taking the CO/national real estate exam + course hours requirement and becoming an independent broker or associating with a small brokerage (I can see the benefit of associating with a firm experienced in the area and able to bounce ideas off of). I'd appreciate any advice from others who have done this, any smaller brokerages in the Denver area that would be willing to speak with me, or any general thoughts on this avenue. Looking at doing likely 1+ deals/year. Any course prep recommendations also appreciated.
