Brokerages are always looking for young, hungry people to impart knowledge to, however, I suggest you try to ADD VALUE to them by way of volunteering your time.

If you've already read that or aren't satisfied with that answer, then another idea would be to go to local real estate investing meetups and find someone who is already doing what you're interested in doing and volunteer a day/week to help them out.

I do volunteer work for refugee community connection and I know there is a great need for housing right now

As far as me being your assistant, I was not volunteering.

Often, they may volunteer a higher amount than you were hoping for.

The "stop the clock" suspension for military personnel applies when the member is on qualified extended duty:Qualified extended duty.You are on qualified extended duty if: You are called or ordered to active duty for an indefinite period, or for a definite period of more than 90 days.You are serving at a duty station at least 50 miles from your main home, or you are living in government quarters under government orders.You are one of the following:A member of the armed forces (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard);A member of the commissioned corps of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) or the Public Health Service;A Foreign Service chief of mission, ambassador-at-large, or officer;A member of the Senior Foreign Service or the Foreign Service personnel;An employee, enrolled volunteer, or enrolled volunteer leader of the Peace Corps serving outside the United States; orAn employee of the intelligence community, meaning:The Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Central Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, or the National Reconnaissance Office;Any other office within the Department of Defense for the collection of specialized national intelligence through reconnaissance programs;Any of the intelligence elements of the Army, the Navy, the Air Force, the Marine Corps, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of Treasury, the Department of Energy, and the Coast Guard;The Bureau of Intelligence and Research of the Department of State; orAny of the elements of the Department of Homeland Security concerned with the analyses of foreign intelligence information.So, once your husband's active duty ends or he moves back within 50 miles of your home, the "stop the clock" suspension ends.

I hadn't gone any further with this PM than a intro email to see if they were taking new clients and they volunteered the rate. 

It is all volunteers and local investors, no selling, no gimmicks, just other investors looking to grow and learn.Best of luck!

There's nothing good coming out of telling someone you own the house.You can't hide technically, but why volunteer that info?
