I took the 40 hour course a year prior to the exam and it wasn't fresh in my head.I'm in the process of deciding on a brokerage now, leaning towards Keller Williams, mainly because I'm a huge fan of Gary Keller's books and they have a few interesting options other brokerages don't offer.One of the previous commenters made the point that the barriers to acquiring a license are way too low and I couldn't agree more. 

I'm about a mile from Keller, so we're close, too.

Keller Williams has a very important mantra that is WIN -WIN or no deal.  

Steffan Spieker Millionaire Real Estate Investor by Gary Keller is a good book to start with.

There are some areas zoned to Keller ISD where you can get a good deal if you strike quickly but be prepared for multiple offer situations including cash.

@Barrett Anderson I work with Keller Williams Westfield in Orem and I love it I credit them for most of my retail real estate related success.

I'm a REALTOR at Keller Williams Realty in Pasadena, CA.

Between the podcasts, forums, and blogs theres more information than you could possibly take in a year.I have a suggestion though...if you like learning from books, pick up the Millionaire Real Estate Investor by Gary Keller.
