Hey there,I would love to connect with agents and investors in Ocala Florida!

I also have some investor agents that send me off market deals via email on a weekly basis – which are also good to practice deal analysis. 

I'd done some reading in the past and thought a few of the main Canadian banks had such specialty trust divisions that could help you with plan setup.As for finding investments, networking with other investors, real estate agents, etc. is the way to go.Brian, from what I've heard is that CAN banks  make it extremely difficult to setup. 

Quote from @Travis Tamillo: Hello all, Im about to retire from the Navy and am super excited about becoming a Real Estate Agent.

go to some meetups, meet some PMs and agents in person, look at some properties. 

I'm an investor-friendly agent in the Grand Rapids area.

Quote from @Jaycee Greene: Quote from @William Taylor: Hey there BiggerPockets members, I'm an upcoming agent practicing running numbers on different duplexes and investment properties I'm seeing on the market, here to share another report I'm working on for feedback.

My piece of advice would be to make sure you have a great agent in your corner to help you assess the market, make informed decisions, etc. having a good agent can be day & nights difference when it comes to your experience.

In fact, if you qualify as a sole proprietor (real estate agent, broker, small business owner), you can have something called a solo 401k and use that to purchase property.

Sure, being a RE agent is an option.
