Going to put what I wrote here because I think it still applies:- Search Bigger Pockets for investor friendly brokerages in your area, interview them, and join a team which will mentor/coach you on being a great salesperson and being a RE investor.- Put most of your effort towards becoming an incredible real estate agent, detach yourself from the monetary outcome, focus on providing value and an amazing professional service, and build an unwavering commitment to these things for the next 18-24 months.- Focus on learning over results, adding value over being the best, and actively revisting your overal goal, from there you will be setup to have an incredible real estate journey and life.I haven't mentioned anything around real estate investing because if you are committed to doing this investing for a long time, then working on your mindset, working on being a helpful and value add agent, and these fundamental things WILL help you become a successful investor.
