Hello I am new here, I want to know how to be a real estate agent here in biggerpockets?

Welcome to the site, Steve.

You'd want to work with the REIT sponsor and your CPA to understand the expected timeline for this a bit more.  

I'm scared to purchase a second home but we have the funds to do so Do it!

I also provide small shampoo's and conditioners that I get in bulk from Amazon.It is hard to beat either for these kinds of supplies, even if you get a wholesaler to sell to you.

Another benefit is it is much easier to diversify into multiple markets, asset classes and operators.Just wanted to share an alternative - often active investing is the way to go, but it really depends on the person and it is important to know that there are passive ways to accomplish your financial goals.Good luck!

My investors expect me to source financing for a deal and not retain a service to do what I am expect to do as part of my fees.

My vision is to keep it a while (it’s paid off) and use the cashflow to help with my kids college.  

What should I look out for while writing my contracts and explaining them to customers?

Would love to connect and help you with finding some on/off market deals and introducing you to property managers.
