Agent for Investment Purposes?
Hi all, I am currently taking an online pre-licensing class and I have a question about what exactly happens after I pass the state exam and what my options are. I have recently formed an investment company that will be purchasing several real estate holdings. I thought it would be a good move to get my license so that I can access the MLS, gain easier access to properties, and save on commission (or even make commission). I would prefer to spend minimal if any time having to field calls, attend meetings, etc. at the branch office of my broker because I want to be out searching for properties, managing investments, and raising funds. I do not really care about making commissions - I am more interested about the personal benefits that being a part of the local board may have in terms of my investment endeavors. Are there any brokerage firms that specialize in this type of thing or that would be beneficial for me to check out? Are no brokers going to want to sponsor me if these are my goals?
