Working at an investment brokerage in Austin, I can confidently say it's a strong market for real estate investment.

My current brokerage does not help generate any leads or anything like that.

Networking with luxury RE brokerages will probably fast track you as well. 

Virginia passed legislation last year (I was not involved) that defined it as a real estate brokerage activity, thus nessceitating a license to wholesale.  

I would recommend the One Brokerage, David Greene team.

Most brokerages do not require you to be a full time Realtor in order for you to hang your license with them.

Another tactic you could try is Google searching "Keller Williams Brokerage Near Me" just pick up the phone and call the front desk.

She and her husband have run a brokerage and property management company in Jax for years and they know all of the areas very well.

With the idea of "we can turn money today into more money tomorrow by investing it," I place most of this within a taxable brokerage account where it grows based on the market broadly speaking.

Our mortgage brokerage works with real estate investors all across the country who face these same decisions regularly.
