I agree with this statement and you're second-next step needs to be getting qualified/finding money and walking properties.

There’s a bunch of qualified brokers that can help nationwide 

If you insist on going the path of becoming an agent, I would try to qualify for a loan (or find a creative way to finance) prior to leaving your current position.

@Caleb Webb You're past the point to qualify and exclude any tax using the primary residence exclusion.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017 allows businesses to write off 60% (in 2024) of the cost of qualifying property in the year that it is placed into service.

Essentially I didn’t make enough to qualify for this loan.

We basically try to do a lot of our qualifying of the seller and the house prior to an actual in person appointment.

My research so far shows that debt and equity investments are treated differently when determining if they qualify as securities under U.S. law.

Hi Benjamin,Have you talked to a lender about getting pre qualified or getting a VA loan?

Since you are likely 1099, you will have a hard time qualifying for conventional financing for the next 2 years, and it makes the most sense to accumulate as much income as possible during that time frame.
