@Arpan Patel Thank you for taking the team to read my post. I really do appreciate it. I cut the learning curve these past 2 years studying under a great mentor and I am so excited. 

@Angelia Kinston Thank you for reaching out, I surely Understand that this is a competitive industry.  I still work my full time during the day, but I keep my phone near by at all times.

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

My Wife surely appreciates the many things I've learned and try to teach her over the years. Every now and then she will ask questions, especially when checks come into the mail :) .  I usually don't try to force things onto people, but given the chance I will surely try to explain your investment strategies the best way you can. But Please be patient.  

This may be for your spouse or any other loved one.
