how do you find a investor-agent friendly broker to work under?

[Mike Rodriguez]

I'm planning to get my RE agent license for the sole purpose of wholsaling in Ohio.  How do I go about finding a broker that is "investor-agent" friendly?

[Jerome Harrod II]

Note, I'm from Maryland, but Most brokers nowadays are okay with agents investing and being wholesalers. It's just a matter of wording what you are talking about correctly and following the procedures the broker has in place.

"I'm looking to be a listing agent with a emphasis on investments. In addition to helping buyers and sellers, on the side I will occasionally be assigning contracts for profit and working with investors.  Is that a problem?"

That is the kind of language you use on the Interviews with your broker and watch how they respond.

Look up someone named "Karl Krentzel" and his blog tenminuteskill. He really is the best and probably only guy I know of specializing in the "Agent/Investor" area of the business.

Hope that helps,
