Military to Business to Uber to RE Investor starting out

I am 34 years old living in the Dallas-Fort Worth Area. 

I spent 10 years US Army followed by 5 years business in Indonesia, now back in Texas with my eyes set on my first VA Mortgage Loan - this has to be my first investment property.

I am anticipating prices to drop significantly in a year. Meanwhile I drive Uber to find properties wholesaling, learn about the city, lower my expenses, and increase network. 

I am working on my Real Estate License as well and expecting to receive my license in February. 

I have 1 year+ to - build capital, establish network, master my niche, find my property and expected to make first purchase in February 2023. 

During my Uber drive, I have made contact with over 35 business owners, agents, brokers, investors, loan officers, etc in 6 weeks. All interested to see my ambitious progress. 

That's all. Any advice and guidance is appreciated.
