Aspiring Investor in Alabama

[Pamela Brady]

Hello, I am new to Bigger Pockets and I am interested in getting into Real Estate investing in Oxford and/or Jacksonville Alabama area. I just obtained my real estate license 2 months ago and I am trying to decide who to list my license with to help me along this real estate journey ..... Small company, large company or flat fee company? Being that my primary focus is NOT sales, keeping more of the profits from flips would most certainly be the smarter choice. 

Also, being from a small town, there are not any REIA's in my immediate area. Does anyone see value in going to a REIA in a larger area that is about an hour away (i.e. Birmingham, AL)? Thanks. I look forward to connecting with some experienced and newbie investors.
