Investor friendly brokerages in Houston

Hello BP! I am starting out as a newly inspired aspiring real estate investor focused mainly on rental properties. I have decided to first become a licensed real estate agent. I reside in the greater Houston area and would like to know which brokerages/firms are “investor-friendly” meaning that they support doing investment deals as well as retail ones and also treat agents like independent contractors rather than employees. I have been hearing that Keller-Williams is the most investor friendly company and that they can help investors and agents alike through their training, mentoring, and networking. I am looking forward to getting my license and working with a broker that will support my future endeavors as not only a real estate agent, but a potential real estate investor. Thank you BP family and a cheers to my first forum post!

I too am currently taking courses to get my license, and I've been searching for good brokers in Houston that are invester friendly. I want to invest heavily in real estate, and also jump in the industry as a licensed agent. I feel working under an investor-friendly broker would allow me to invest with the best education available, and allow me to work with clients who are big time investors. What better education than working with investors, and helping them with their investments to form long-term relationships.

I'm wondering if any other licenses agents/investors have any tips on finding good brokers for aspiring investor agents. I've definitely looked in to EXP and Stepstone ....
