Could people give some help for a new FL agent?

I passed FL agent exam yesterday. As a full time medical informatics, I like my job, so I will continue it. My home is in Tampa FL area. Real goal to get the license is to build our personal property profile in a no too much stress way.

 Can professionals give some suggestion and helps on:

    1) How to find a broker who fit my time and goal?

    2) Can I work only on Weekends? Some analysis work can be finish at night any day.

    3) Will an invest broker have interest and time to help a person like me?

I am very disciplined, responsible, positive, and goal oriented person.

Thanks BP's 170 podcasts accompanied me during the 4 months, helped me understand the RE concepts, and passed both exam just once.

@Huiping S.  Congratulations on passing your exam. Although you can run your real estate business in the evening and on weekends, it will just require a little more persistence. I can highly recommend the webinar that @Scott Trench teaches on how real estate professionals can build their business through the wise use of BiggerPockets. Their ideas were fantastic and will take you much farther than the most common recommendations for business building. Finding the right broker for you depends on what your goals are. If you prefer to work with investors, look for a small brokerage that focuses on and has experience with investors--property management companies are also a good fit for that niche. I'm not sure what the license law requires there in FL or whether that is possible there. The fit between the brokerage and you is more important than the split at this point. In my opinion, the first thing to do is to update your profile on here and completely fill it out to give a professional appearance. I'd recommend upgrading to a Pro account right off the bat and then attending the webinar. Good luck with your brokerage search. Sometimes smaller is better!
