Not a formally sponsored event and no guest speaker or anything.

If you are acting as the sponsor they will also require strong financials, specific real estate experience, or both.  

Then after 2 years you can get your managing broker's and self sponsor.  

So I start with the sponsor first.

Every conference I've attended sponsored by different mentors has a different vibe.

I'm a broker and I sponsor agent/investors who are branding their own company.

I don't think I want to be sponsored by a broker as I am not interested in representing clients.

What he said about sponsors and their IRRs is spot-on. 

I am in Ocean County and just signed with my broker today, passed the exam a couple weeks ago.Call around because I had numerous broker's who was going to sponsor me to take the class with no obligation to work for them, I don't see how no broker will talk to you when you're taking the course.My course had 25 students and I am pretty sure only about 4 or 5 didn't know where they were going broker wise if they passed the state exam.

Wanted some leads on a sponsoring broker in the Seattle area.
