Denver Broker's Assistant

[Shawn McMahon]

Right now I want to work underneath a broker while I am working on my getting my Brokers License.  

1. Where in the Biggerpockets forums can I find Agents that are looking for assistants? Would that be the BP Marketplace? If so, how do you search the BP marketplace forums so I can find only those posting for the Denver area? 

2. Is it common for agents to compensate assistants on an hourly 1099 wage while they are training? I want to dive head first into RE but I need a source of income while I am studying and working under a broker. I can't go without working while I study for my exam.
