RE Broker Recommendations? (Greater Cincinnati Area)

[Joseph Cornwell]

Hello everyone!

I am still in the beginning stages of becoming a real estate investor. I have been educating myself as much as possible over the past 6 months, and my goal is to become a Realtor and a part-time buy and hold investor. As part of this educational process I have decided to obtain my Ohio Real Estate License for various reasons, but I feel it is a necessity for my success. Therefore, I am looking for Realtors who can recommend Brokers that would be a good fit for a new agent, and are investor friendly. I envision myself doing a limited number of deals per year, mainly for close friends and family, (I have a separate full-time job so any extra commission funds would be fed into my RE investments.) I would also be using my license to obtain my own rental properties. I have spoke with a few Brokers and would love some additional thoughts and opinions. I am signed up for the RE courses at the University of Cincinnati and will be finished in July, 2016. Thank you for any feedback!
