Is there a best broker to get you license through as an investor?

[Andy Sturm]

I have already completed the education portion to obtain my Ohio real estate license. Now I am interested in becoming sponsored by a broker. Are there any specific brokers that are more friendly to investors? Is it typical to negotiate commission percentages?

I don't want to be an agent for hire and wont be pursuing clients. I hope to buy at least 4-7 houses a year for at least the next 2 years. Is that amount too low? Would a broker not be interested in that? I would think that broker would want as many agents as possible, so they could potentially have more sales and more commissions. Although I don't know what kinds of cost they incur by sponsoring an agent.

Thanks in advance for your help!
