I looked into Champions.  I was told by a rep there they do not sponsor new agents. You must have a minimum of 2 years experience with your license active  @shanequaJ.  

I was really bummed but maybe I'll find another option.  Thanks

Greetings everyone,

I  recently acquired my TX real estate license.  However, I'm pursuing investing full time and would like to use my license as an added tool rather than a primary income vehicle. 

I would like to hang my license with a brokerage with low commission splits or one who utilizes a flat rate.  Training isn't an issue because I have a mentor training me. 

If anyone can assist or refer me to a brokerage that sponsors new agents AND meets the above criteria, please advise asap.  I'm trying to move quickly on this.  Thank you.

Yes, I very well could.  I guess after all the studying I just don't want to do anything wrong and be fined or deemed unethical.  But perhaps the answer is get a good attorney on our team which I do not have yet. 

Open to any referrals in Houston or surrounding areas.  Thank you both for your thoughts. @Phillip Gonzales

 and @Lisa Kohl :-)

HI Guys,

I live in TX and need advice. I want to be an investor and am well on my way. I've identified my target areas, began my cold calls / driving for leads/marketing etc.  

When I first started out I took RE classes and eventually passed the TX state exam. HOWEVER, along the way through networking I've heard as an investor in texas this definitely will limit my 'creative financing' options.  

 I have not enlisted with a broker so technically I am in inactive status according to TREC.  But my question is: Since I passed the State Exam, does that mean I'm  a TX licensee  even though I do not have a broker??  OR, as long as I stay inactive, the state does not recognize me as having a License? Please advise, thanks!! 

I see advantages to both and right about now having MLS access would be great. But in the long term, I know being an Agent carries higher standards / TREC requirements? Advice welcomed.

HI @Brandon Turner.  Thank you so much for responding.  I  will watch it now!  It is timely.

Hi @Brandon Turner, when you click on the link it takes you to a meeting about "How to USE BP to be a real estate rockstar". Where do you sign up for the BRRR training?

Thank you.
