If you wanted good training you could go with Keller Williams in the Western Branch.

Mom and pop NY brokerages would be a better option, but they will have no training or systems, but will hold your license while you look.

Plug it in through bankrates calculators and run it compared to the amortized mortgage ******** that bankers blindly push on people because that is what they have been trained to do.

There are also some groups that get you access so additional features, business training, investment trainings, strategies, business networks for investors to scale up with each other, etc.
