New Agent seeking guidance

[Account Closed]

I have just passed my California salesperson exam this month, and would like to know what the best type of brokerage would be to target if I want to learn the most about investing. One where preferably I would work primarily with real estate investors.

Does anyone have any recommendations in the Los Angeles area? Any advice is welcomed. 

Thank you!

I would be more concerned with learning the nuts and bolts of real estate transactions from your brokerage. Also, what are the costs to you VS what they provide for you. Do you want to pay a desk fee and extra upfront costs to have lots of materials and services at your disposal or do you want a more basic arrangement with all the fees based on transactions. My experience has been that brokerages are mostly made up of a bunch of independent agents who all have their own approaches and investment level in their business. Not to say each brokerage doesn’t have its own culture but do you want to be the newest agent in a building full of agents who all focus on investors or do you want to be the agent doing something  mostly different from the rest by getting your BiggerPockets PhD and being the innovator of your brokerage.

All that aside, check out meet ups and meet people in your area that are doing what you want to do.
