Looking to become a Real Estate Agent in Tampa area

[Abigail Nalbandian]

Hi all! I am a 'retired' chemical engineer looking to become a Real Estate Agent/Investor in the Tampa, FL area. We have one property (in New Orleans) that we just finished remodeled and are waiting to pass all inspections before we put it on the market.  Currently living in Texas, moving to Florida in August. 

Was wondering if there is an online course I should take to prepare for the Real Estate Agent exam.  Also what are some books that helped you prepare for the exam? I googled but found contradicting information in different sites.

Thank you in advance for the help!
