Looking for recommendations: where to hang my license?

[Breanne Willard]

I am brand new to real estate. I just passed the exam and applied for my license this week. I am not planning on working as a real estate agent for my career. Rather, I chose to get the license so that I can negotiate my own deals and save money when purchasing investment properties. I would love recommendations on real estate brokerages that are affordable for someone like me who will only utilize my license once a year or so. 

A google search produces some places that advertise 100% commission and are geared towards real estate investors, but they still have a monthly fee and I don't know if I would get the same support and networking opportunities compared to a local brokerage. Any advice is appreciated! Are there some places that only charge per transaction? Or is it worth it to pay monthly for a newbie like me?
