Real Estate Agent - Newbie

[Brian Cornick]

I am currently studying for my brokers license in Colorado and am about a quarter of the way through the material. I have come across a reading that says "No such broker shall engage in an independent brokerage practice without first having served actively as a real estate broker for at least two years." First of all, I want to preface my question with the fact that I am currently an accountant and have no intentions of quitting my job to become a real estate agent. My plan is to utilize the license when buying and selling my own investment/personal properties, to help save money and one day, open up a property management company. My understanding, was that I could "hang my license" on another brokers wall for potentially a fee without actually working for them. Can somebody please help me understand further how this works? Will I not be able to get my license unless I become employed by an RE company?
