Investors wanting to get their RE license should read...

I've been licensed for about a year now and had been working under a broker for about 8 months.

I just did my 5th yellow letter campaign in my area and an agent received one and they called and complained to their area president who in tern called my broker. Even though though I broke no rules, the threat and unwanted attention alone was enough for my broker to drop me. I followed his advice about how to disclose and how to stay compliant with my mailings, yet some uptight ignorant agent got all worked up for nothing and has caused me problems.

So once licensed, find a broker that's fully on board with what you do and keep them well informed so they can fight for you in case this happens too. 

Good luck to everyone.
