Your job will be to find an investor-friendly brokerage willing to teach.

Once you complete your class and pass the test, you will start looking for brokerages.

That said, my main question is, can you recommend a good mortgage brokerage company that offers all the training points you outlined in your post?

My wife and I moved down to Central Florida from Hamburg just over 5 years ago and are running our own brokerage and property management company. 

The DOJ wants to stop listing brokerages from offering/setting the buyer's agents commission, but that might not happen.I understand why agents don't like this view.

We have a property management company and real estate brokerage. 

(Will I even have time to do GP work if I'm at a brokerage?)

Thank you Eric.In addition to the rental properties, my wife and I have a paid off house, paid off car, and about $1.4m in retirement accounts, brokerages, and savings.We live in a HCOL area and our expenses are $9.5k per month even though we live pretty modestly.I set out initially to have real estate pay for at least some of my expenses in order to give me more freedom and financial security.Is your wife quitting too? 

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

If you are just downloading data room info from brokerage sites and plugging into a model, you are refining your skills on the "act", which is certainly necessary and helps make the process faster.
