I have seen the money supply issue stated from a number of sources.

@Alex Tokmazeyskiy - I think it really depends on your needs as an agent and how exactly you plan to use your license.If you plan on becoming a full-time agent and making it your sole source of income, I'd probably suggest linking up with one of the bigger firms (Coldwell Banker, Baird & Warner, Keller Williams) with properly structured training.If you are looking to just use your license as an investor, then maybe finding a smaller boutique broker with lower commissions is the way to go.
