Homeowner/Investor wants to become an Agent

[Gregg Hutton]

Hello,

My wife and I have brought our first property 5 years ago under an FHA loan and paid nothing down. This alone is what caught my attention. 2 years in, I began studying different investment strategies in the business from wholesalers, flippers, Rental properties, etc.

I work full time in Retail and now want to start part time as a Real estate agent until it replaces my other job. I have studied under many REI groups and pursued closing deals on my own, however, I found that in this area in Northern Virginia, it was difficult for me to build that trust with the big time players in this area.

I wanted to take the matters into my own hands and BECOME THE SOURCE. So I am now studying online to get my license.

I am great with numbers and I understand how to run comps, market deals, and understand the purchase ratios (65%-75%) can be a heck of a deal for myself or my future clients.

I love for any of you to give any tips as I'm transitioning from the investor to the Agent

Congratulations on becoming an agent and taking control over your future!! Given your knowledge  and firsthand experience in purchasing your own property, you will be asset to future clients. If you haven't already done so, I'd recommend reading Gary Keller's The Millionaire Agent and The Millionaire Investor.
