RE (Investor) Agents - Which brokerage do I choose?

[Dirk Fisher]

Hello! I just renewed my Florida RE license today and recently relocated to Gainesville and am planning on finding a brokerage to hang my license at. My primary goal of having a license is to use it to my own advantage as an investor, rather than making a living as an actual RE agent helping to buy/sell homes. Granted, if friends/family want my assistance I'm not going to turn them down.

That being said - as an investor with a license - what types of brokerages do you look for? Does it depend on what type of investing you're wanting to do? Does it matter if it's a brokerage in the same city? What criteria do you look for? What kinds of questions should I be asking?

Thank you!
