For those of you who have gotten licensed..

How difficult was it to 'hang' your license with a broker?

Are there brokers who are willing to let new agents 'hang' their license knowing they are investors?

We live in an expensive market (Seattle) and have currently had talks with about four different agents.  When we mention that we want to make 'low-ball' (albeit carefully calculated with investing in mind) offers and lots of them we don't get the hungry, enthusiastic response we have been looking for haha.

Multiple episodes of the BP podcasts have individuals who have casually mentioned getting licensed like it's no big deal.  

What are the bare minimum requirements needed to 'hang' one's license with a broker?

Knowing that a good agent/broker is hard to find, we would eventually enjoy the freedom of becoming licensed ourselves down the road.

With that said, any investor agents in the Seattle area willing to connect?

@Brian Erickson Getting licensed Isn’t that hard. The test should be very passable. It just takes a commitment Of a little time and a little money. About 60 hours and $2.5k in Alabama. Keller Williams is a great place to ‘hang’ your license nationally. Locally, I’m sure you can find an investor friendly firm by asking around the local REIA.
