Becoming Licensed Agent Without Actually Practicing
Hi everyone,
I'm looking into getting my RE license in Michigan in order to further my investing career, access the MLS, better negotiate with selling agents, etc.
I know that I will have to find a broker to hold my license, but I'm not sure how to go about that? I am fully aware that there are a lot of fees (MLS, office, Association) that come along with brokers and I was wondering if any non-practicing REI agents have had experience finding a broker to hold their license?
I have no idea how to go about finding a broker that will discount the fees since I have zero interest in actually selling or listing homes. I just want to do it for my personal gain. Can anyone offer any advice?
