Fellow investor friends!

I am in the process of getting my real estate license in Houston, Texas! The reason I am getting my license is to support my real estate investing and also help other investors out with whatever I can help them with as an agent. I have a full time job in the O&G industry, which I want to transition out of eventually so that I can focus on real estate investing full time. But for now, I would be working as a part time agent and am looking for a broker that can sponsor me. I would prefer if the broker is an investor as well, so that he/she can sprinkle some experience and wisdom on me! 

If you know of a broker that would be interested in having a conversation about it, please let me know :) 

Thank you in advance for any replies.

congratz!! interview the firms around your area to find your fit

I am investor and got my license. my first brokerage had good training to be an agent. because I didn't mind being an agent. and I got my awesome training, Foreclosure cert and commercial license through them.

But I had to leave bc we just didn't see eye to eye and but heads bc i work with investors and distresses properties aka no $$$

I moved to my current broker, and she is also was an investor.  I hit the ground running, and I increased my commission by 100% b/c they let me be me, and do what needs to be done to close deals.  I am taking personal time off now for elective surgery and they don't question why I am down...  

my previous broker was in SALES, and it was about make $$ more than building relationship. I had to use their vendor even though they arent up to my standards.  I work with crazy strange stuff I need experienced and one on one service with my vendors.
