California real estate brokerage
I’m working on my real estate license. I guess I’m going to need a broker to take me on.
I’m really just getting my license for use in flipping houses which I plan on getting into within the next year or so but I wouldn’t be opposed to helping clients find houses too.
I’m currently in Los Angeles but once I leave my 9-5 in the next year or so, I plan on doing flips in Northern California near Chico.
I’ve heard of some pretty outrageous monthly fees, so I’m also wondering what’s reasonable and if there are any options with minimal costs involved. Thanks for any advice on finding the right broker!

Eric, I am doing the same, just using the license to do my own deals, and helping a few people I know to sell or buy. But not full-time active. Therefore I just joined Pinnacle Realty Advisors. They are 100% online and remote. Check them out. I did and I like it. I don't need the traditional brokerage type, maybe you don't also. Btw, you only pay fees per transaction and keep 100% of the commission (no split).
