Do you know where you're hanging your license? 

(I targeted only off-market deals, but that will certainly change now)I'm just looking for an investor-friendly brokerage to hang my license in the DC Metro (MD, VA, and DC) now.Thanks to everyone, particularly Wale, for chiming in on this post.Best of luck to anyone who decides to dive in and be an agent as well.
