I was looking into possibly getting my license and I have heard Champions is a good program.Havent done it myself, and I have no affiliation with them, but its where I was thinking about going.https://www.championsschool.com/

That is a major difference with an independent office & one affiliated with an existing brokerage.

If you have a "large" bank affiliation then you can go to the local branch (like Wells Fargo) and get your funds if you are the successful bidder (verify that we have a branch). 

Note they currently operate nationwide in a very limited geographic range of 20 +/- MSAs.Disclosure: I have no affiliation with this company, just like I have no affiliation (6+ years ago) with American Homes for Rent in my other analysis and observations posts on BP.

I am not affiliated with this place and actually prefer Von Elrod's but a good back up spot.

I am sure that there are exceptions in both cases.However no matter what; the people who control our nation and its economy are beyond party affiliation.

Gone are the days when the talking heads were actually "journalists that reported the news" without any indication of their political affiliation.

I see now @Sean OToole that you're affiliated with the site he mentioned. 

In addition, I am a licensed Kentucky Real Estate Agent affiliated with The Metts Company

I went to my local affiliate, and told them gross sales the year before.
