New Homeowner to Future Real Estate Agent (VA)

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
