Investors wanting to get their RE license should read...
I've been licensed for about a year now and had been working under a broker for about 8 months.
I just did my 5th yellow letter campaign in my area and an agent received one and they called and complained to their area president who in tern called my broker. Even though though I broke no rules, the threat and unwanted attention alone was enough for my broker to drop me. I followed his advice about how to disclose and how to stay compliant with my mailings, yet some uptight ignorant agent got all worked up for nothing and has caused me problems.
So once licensed, find a broker that's fully on board with what you do and keep them well informed so they can fight for you in case this happens too.
Good luck to everyone.

@David C. I've been an investor a lot longer than agent and my point was to maybe help out any investors thinking of getting their license that it's not just that simple and something to watch out for. I'm not mad at my broker, I don't blame him at all. I would have done the same thing if anyone complained about my agent, regardless if it was unfounded or not.
I couldn't tell from your response, which made you come across as an ***, by the way, if you were being sarcastic or not. And since your profile is hidden, I wasn't able to look to see how much experience you actually have.
