The more you buy/sell, the higher % you keep, depending on your contract with your broker.You're probably best off at a small local firm where you can pay minimal fees, get access to MLS and basic supervision, and aren't required to pay $600/year to local/state/national association of realtors (NAR).

Try the Apartment Owners Association of Greater Orlando in Maitland. 

As far as where to find a partner to flip with or someone who is flipping full time I would just say the usual suspects....the local real estate investor associations and networking as much as possible.
