How does having a salesperson license interfere with marketing?

[Matt Powell]

Hi all. I'm new to investing, and definitely new to marketing, so I'd consider this a rookie question. I'm reading J Scott's book on flipping and am in the chapter about marketing. I plan on getting my salesperson license, so everything I read, for me, is in context of having a real estate salesperson license.

So my question is: Generally speaking, how might having a license interfere with marketing campaigns? I may get this answer when I'm taking classes, but I'm thinking in context of having to belong to a brokerage once I have my license. If I want to do my own marketing - say direct mail, or even set up a lead-catching website - am I obligated (ethically or legally) to list my brokerage with those marketing materials? What about on business cards? Am I even able to do my own thing, or does everything have to go through my brokerage? Can I set up a LLC? Ideally, if I must belong to a brokerage (and from what I gather, I must), I'd like to just use the brokerage for education. Otherwise, I feel like I'd want it out of the way.

Thoughts on these questions and my general goal? I'd be happy to clarify anything. Thanks!
