Finding a broker for new agent in DFW

I posted this in the general forum and realize now that this may have been a better place to ask the question so trying again.

Hi All. I'm really close to getting my license to aid with investing (getting MLS access to view comps, looking at houses on my own schedule, etc.) and need to find a broker to hang my license under. I have a full time job and don't plan to pursue being an agent full time. Any suggestions for finding a broker who is smaller scale and doesn't charge all the office fees/minimum sales requirements, etc? For all you investors out there who also have your license and are not full time agents, how did you find your broker?

Thanks for any help!

To find the right broker, simply call around your area and shoot them your questions up front. Unless someone here gives you a specific recommendation, this is the best way to do it. Also,  because of RE's incredibly high turnover,  nearly every brokerage will have a spot for you. 

Right down every single question you have and run through them with every interview you do. Every broker will be straight forward with you and should be able to thouroughly break down their fee structure. 

Go through as many brokers as you want untill you find one that suits your needs. They make money from you being there regardless of how you run your business, so I'm sure someone will accommodate you.
