You'll experience more in a shorter amount of time vs. starting off on your own.Aside from the team, I'd also recommend joining agent communities especially those that have virtual meetings to role play, accountability, discuss marketing tips, etc.

You have to explain it to the listing agent who doesn't get it, who then sends that to the seller, by telling them it's not that you have no money, but this is a right afforded to you based on your service to the country and you can also show proof of funds that you have money, but are choosing not to use it as a downpayment because you want to do reno with it.I would use your VA, that's what it's there for.
