Choosing a broker to hang license

[Alan L.]

Hi!

I recently passed the salesperson exam and was wondering if anyone has advice on choosing a broker to hang my license with. I'm currently aiming to flip properties in CA and I really want to save money on paying the realtor commissions. I also want to be able to use their MLS access so I can look at properties on my own time. So my questions are the following:

1) What are the pros and cons of joining brokers who charge a fee for each listing I want to put on MLS?

2) How exactly would it work for someone like myself to flip a deal as a licensed investor? (if someone could explain this process to me or provide me some article that would be extrememly helpful.)
