I plan to get my real estate license NOT to become a realtor, but to aid me in writing multiple offers to buy properties to flip. Anyone have experience in Florida doing this? Do you have to sign on with a broker just to buy properties?

Having an active realtor's license isn't a cheap date; the fees to the local and national associations as well to a broker firm with splits won't get you the value and performance you're hoping to achieve with your flips.  There are a lot of strategies that investors use in making offers on flips that are worth exploring.  My recommendation would be to work with a broker/realtor who has experienced professionally and personally in real estate investing. It will make a huge difference in your results and provide you with a trusted adviser.
