I'm looking at taking the online classes and getting a Real Estate License. Mostly so i have the knowledge when i'm ready to start buying rental property. But i figured an added benefit would be that I would be able to act as my own agent and keep the agent fee for myself.
But i was reading some of the fine print and (in TX anyway) the real estate agent doesn't actually get to act on their own. They have to work for a Broker for a couple years. So the Broker holds the agent's license. Is this for real? Any way around this for my purposes? Like I wonder if there are Brokers around that are willing to work with people like me who will do this kind of thing on the side?
Any help or insight would be appreciated. I'm just starting to look into this more seriously now and will most likely take the classes anyway for the knowledge.
