Where To Hang My License??

[Drew Witt]

In June, I began my real estate career working for a real estate investor in Denver.   When I was hired, I was required to obtain a real estate license. We had planned to use a certain strategy that only works in a very hot market.  Now with the market softening, this strategy has quickly evaporated and is no longer viable.  Now that the strategy is no longer makes sense, it is not completely necessary for me to have my license..... but it is too late, I did all the work and I recently passed the exam.  

The investor I work for no longer wants to become an employing broker so I can hang it with him due to fees, required continuing education and the fact we simply can operate without. (I don't blame him) But I did all the work and I want to have my license, I worked hard and earned it! I want something to show for it but I do not know where to hang my license.  I might do a deal or two a year on my own that would require a license, are there any employing brokers that would let me hang my license with them? Do I have any options?
