Realtor selling Flip

[DG H.]

I've been a RE Investor for 15 years. I got the bright idea I would get my RE License here in Texas; thinking it would help me with investing. If anything it's slowed down my investing. I am with a large brokerage but it's 2 hours away from me...I live in a very rural area.  The Realtors I use to get my deals through now tell me flat they don't want an offer from me because their sellers won't sell that low...well that's odd because before I had my license they would take the offer. I also did flips....now it's almost impossible to sell my flips. I can't sell my own properties....WHAT?...that's a crock! I have to find a competitor Realtor to be in my deal! My fellow Realtors in my brokerage are too far away to help. So..all of the posts I read here that said get your RE License it will help you in your RE investing...my experience. Too many hoops to jump through. Maybe I'm just doing this all wrong...what would you do to streamline the process?
