Advice for new/young RE agents

[Oleg Enik]

Hi BP community! Thank you for everyone who engages in the forums and answers questions for those who are in need of help and advice. I appreciate it a lot!

I'm currently taking a semester off from college and going to start working at a brokerage that focuses on working with and representing real estate investors. I have been consuming as much information and content as I can from BP and books on real estate investing, but I obviously still do not know much and do not have much work experience. What advice could you give a young/new real estate agent like me to develop leads while not having real-life experience being an agent or investing in real estate? I have a feeling a lot of people will be hesitant to work with a young guy who knows his stuff only in theory and does not have much credibility behind him.
