Phoenix Broker Suggestions - Soon to be agent here

[Casey Miles]

Hello Everyone,

My experience is in buy/hold real estate and I've been investing since 2010. I went to RE school back in 2007 but chose not to get licensed. I'm not new to RE but to being an agent I am. For now I'm looking to only use my license for my personal use and maybe working with the occasional investor. I'd like to continue buying buy/hold properties as well as get my feet wet flipping.

I'm looking for suggestions on where to hang my license and any associations I need to join? The agent I use now says I have to join an association of some type? I'm not looking for a national broker, I don't need their marketing or office. I'd like a flat fee broker (I understand there's monthly fees as well). 

Can you guys give me some suggestions as well as the pros/cons of the "budget broker".

Thanks in advance, I do appreciate it!

Casey
