Great question! Glad to have you here!

1. Find a local REI meet up and get plugged in with people doing what you want to do. Ask a lot of questions and find ways you can help other people out (don't just ask "what do you need", listen to their story, hear their pains, find a solution, present them your solution, create value 👍).

2. Go talk to an investor friendly lender that owns real estate themselves! Find out what your financial situation looks like in the eyes of a lender and find out what you need to do to set yourself up to buy a property when you’re ready. A good lender only works with agents that are good at their job and close on deals, so they will get you connected to a solid agent.

Hope that helps! Ask any and all questions here on the forums!
