Finding an investor friendly real estate broker to work under

I recently passed my state real estate licensing exam and am at the stage where I need to find a broker. I decided to get my license to gain access to the MLS to grow my real estate business through extensive market analysis of my pharm area and ensuring I'm buying my properties at the right prices (just to name a couple). I was debating on this decision for a while but decided to go for it as I predict the benefits will outweigh the cost for my business.

Does anyone have any recommendations of some investor friendly brokerages in the metro Detroit area? I work full time and run my real estate business in my free time so I don't really have the time to add being a full fledge real estate agent to my plate as well. Hopefully I can find a broker that understands my situation. 

My top choices at the moment are franchise brokerages as they seem to offer the corporate structure I'm use to along with lots of networking opportunities.

Have no clue what "investor friendly" means, but if you're referring to buying/selling rental housing, look on the MLS to see who's doing a lot of that business in the area.

However, be honest and open with the broker what you want to do.   In OR, I take you on and you do some shady s***, I'm just as liable for your bad acts are you are - It happens.
