How to choose a brokerage for a new real estate agent?

[Lee Crews]

I am in the process of taking my classes to become a licensed real estate agent. I was wondering if there were any tips on choosing the right brokerage for a new agent. I am going 100% into becoming an agent and luckily have the support from my wonderful wife. I wake up and check the forums here, I listen to all the podcasts and talk to anyone around me that enjoys REI. Right now I'm selling my first live in flip and plan to purchase another flips once this one sells but I know my job has to involve real estate. I have friends that tried part time and ended up going back to their old jobs because they did not put in any effort to succeed. That will not be the case for me and hopefully with some tips from the experts here, you all can help me become the best agent I can possibly be. So any suggestions or tips on finding potential leads are welcome.

Thank you in advanced,

Lee
