Bigger Pockets is a great place for education and networking. 

However, I find I usually have to do a little more education or hand-holding up-front with them (because there can be a lot of things they don't know- whether it's about how Airbnb / VRBO work or what the rental process is like). 

I am only curious and trying to educate myself on sub to as it seems rather attractive to me as a non-US buyer who has access to emergency lines of credit, albeit, maybe limited to 200k. 

My suggestion is to continue being active on BP, get out to some networking events and seminars and also educate yourself through books and podcasts. 

Quote from @Sunil Kale:I have multiple grounds for eviction (many late payments, many HOA violations etc.)Please get some education on how to manage a property or hire a property manager.  

Education is a great goal to start with as you look to purchase your first investment property.

Please educate yourself, and not just from an internet forum. 

I love real estate and the Richmond, VA area, which is why I wish to pursue a career that can educate me on how I can invest in real estate in the future in Richmond.

Find out what they offer as far as education and support, what their fees/splits are and what their expectations might be.Remember, you will need a certain amount of continuing education hours, and you will want a Brokerage that has the support you need to help you through your contracts and answer questions.

You can probably just Google how many pre-licensing hours and education you need for your state in Georgia but I bet its around 20-30!
