I told my agent that I want 10 properties in 10 years. 

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I would suggest finding a 3rd party contractor who specializes in the software to help you with the transition.

@Riley Yourdon make sure you put in your purchase contract that you will get the leases and rent ledgers BEFORE closing so you can review them.At closing you'll want to require that you get the tenant names, phone & email.There is this thing called fraud when it comes to leases & ledgers, so discuss reps & warranties with your agent.

What are ways I can learn and experience being a real estate agent at 16 years old?

And 1031-ing small deals is really a fools errand: the only person making money is your real estate agent.

One of the most important things I consider when selling a property besides price and terms is who is the buyers agent.

RE agent told me that "it's discussed because of the complaints of homeowners but I don't see anything changing"https://www.chronicleonline.co...Thanks in advance!

I've been working with an agent and am hoping to hit the ground running on a few possible properties we put offers in on.

Hey Josh,Congrats on your success as an agent and wanting to dive deeper into the investing side of real estate!
