Personally, I'm a believer in picking a market that best fits your investment objective regardless of the location.

Some brokerages excel at the RE piece and stink at the life piece and that's fine, but it should be reflected in the fee structure.Some things are negotiable for sure, but I'll ring the bell of So Good They Can't Ignore You here and suggest that you pick the best brokerage you can for years 1-2 and then start negotiating with your Broker :)As for the 100% commission places . . .

Or is it just one general license and then I pick my specialty from there?

@Russell Brazil It is always better to pick comparable properties that are closer.

When is it beneficial to take on loans versus taking money from investors when flipping houses? I am an aspiring real estate investor who is interested in both investing in other flippers and also creating my own flip...

That way, we won't have to worry about waiting on other persons funds, and instead, pick and choose what each of us can pay for and settle up at the end. 

Learn how to pick a market, then pick one.

We were looking into hard money financing for an investment property and one application asked us to pick up to three company names and they would help walk us through setting up a Corp…sounds like a requirement to get funding from them. 

I am not saying this is the case with the chemical damage but I would verify that it really is not covered.This damage is definitely not something that the LL should be expecting to pick up the cost.
