Background; (1990) My father owned a 2 family, one unit had a relative living in it, the other a friend of the relative.

I was wondering if I could get the BP community's feedback on whether I should go with a traditional brokerage once I get my real estate license, or whether I should go for a discount brokerage that doesn't give me much overhead.As back ground,  I am hoping to use my license primarily for access to the MLS and for access to properties.

My plan has always been to wholesale until I can fund my own flips, then buy rental properties because I currently have no money or credit.I've been looking into owner finance and was wondering if it's a good idea to offer owner finance still at least 15% below retail then rent it out, use rent to own, or put a few thousand dollars into it if it needs it and sell it.I feel like my market is over saturated with wholesalers who are dominating so I'm looking for a way around my problem.Any advice or suggestions would be great.Thanks guys!

As you probably know from hanging in the background for a bit you have come to the right place!
