Broker value to fees - where to hang my license?

[Mike Dmuchoski]

Always lots of debate on BP about whether REIs should get their real estate license. Well as a newbie, I made it a priority to do so and I'm pleased I went through the process. I'm now interviewing brokers to determine where to hang my license.

Many brokers offer at least basic training but some go above and beyond, including mentorships, advanced training, etc. Of course that all comes at a cost, so do you feel it's worth the additional fees and less of a commission split to be part of such a brokerage? Or find an inexpensive broker, take advantage of the basic offerings, and bank the fees for investments?

Appreciate your thoughts.
