Where to hold license when flipping

[Louis Schmidt]

Hey Everyone,

I am new to real estate investing.  I am looking at into getting my real estate license ( I am from Michigan) but am not sure where to hold my license so that I can practice but not be expected to go out and be an actual agent for an agency.  I am looking strictly to be able to buy and sell my own properties.  I know some agencies frown upon this and do not hire agents that only use the license for flipping purposes.  at the same time I do not want to pay outrageous monthly fees/dues.  Any help or insight would be extremely helpful.  Thank you.
