The brokerage I chose though had training and partnership opportunities, many top agents I could learn from, as well as a more recognized brand that is very active in the local community on many levels.

The name brands that do NNN want complete control of every aspect.

I have also been working on my branding and such for the new company and researching all of the required documentation to start an LLC as I believe that is the entity I will go with.

Good luck finding a reputable lender that will loan to a brand new llc without a personal guarantee from someone with assets and experience.
