I'm a licensed agent and looking for an office to hang my license with.

Current unemployment is supposedly hanging around 5%.

You could look into working for a bigger property management company to get the hang of property management and see if that would be something that interests you for buy and hold properties.

I would like to hang my license with investor friendly brokerages such as Keller Williams, to work with investors mostly instead of retail.

She's hanging in there-on three legs.

They don't offer much when it comes to training and you'll probably be working remotely since their space is to hang shingle only.

If you hang out and ask questions you will quickly see who is here adding value and walks the talk so to speak.

Maybe you hang back for another 6 months before relocating so you can meet the full 2 yr requirement.  

,I generally agree with your aversion to debt - I am learning more and more about leverage.What do you think about financing your first $100K property at 20% (ish) down - but hanging on to the rest of the cash that you have?

Yep, that's all you need to do, work with someone who hangs illegal signs on public property.
