That is great, how long did it take you to start making income from rentals from your start date, and do you feel it is likely to make more then I am making now (33K) first year?

Yes I am certain. I spoke to the VP about it.

My job will not allow me to do Real estate. I am a personal banker and it is considered a conflict of interest. With that said my income is to small to scale my investments ( 33K ) plans so I need to find something more lucrative to do.
That is the scary fact that is bothering me about making this transition.
What would be the best way to find a team to join?

I currently work at a bank. I am in the process of getting my RE license. Being a full time bank employee does not allow you to hold a RE license, so I will be leaving to do what I really want to do ( Real estate) . My goal is to get into Real estate as an agent first, learn and good money through hustle/ long hours. Then I can invest into my own personal investment property's that produce cashflow.
With that said I know it can be a bumpy road when just starting out as it is only commission. My question is, do you know of any ways to make money in real estate while waiting for listing's to pick up?
Leaving is going to completly cut off my income. I have saved funds to make the switch. But I do not want to blow through them trying to get off the ground if possible. I know this is very similar to starting your own business and some fail.
I have heard of property management and doing rentals for income as an agent but I would like to learn more. If you have experience I would really like to hear your advice.

Thanks for the response.
I have read into mobile homes in existing parks but I am really looking to build long term cash flowing assets. Being in a park can put alot of regulation on what you do. You also do not own any land which I see as a problem.
I will also look into the dodd frank financing as I have never heard of it before.

@John Fedro
Thanks for the response.
I am looking for investments that have a lower barrier to entry and Cash flow nicely. I like the idea of flipping but that isn't a passive investment. I like the idea of money coming in every month. My goal is to create multiple streams of income.
I have also looking into multifamily homes but seeing as I only have 12k as of right now I figured mobile homes would be a nice way to start building up cash flowing assets.
I am really looking forward to hearing any other advice or recommendations

I have been doing some research and I have been looking into mobile home investing as a low barrier to entry. Giving me a chance to buy an asset that cashflows.
After some research I have thought about this: Buying a mobile home with land. Then listing the mobile home without the land for sale. Once I get a buyer they will pay me a fee every month for the land they have the mobile home on. Am I missing something, this sounds to good to be true. Cash-flow without repair expenses?
I would love to hear feedback and ideas.

Thanks for the response. I would love to hear more about how you are investing in out of state property. Wouldn't management become an issue?

I have two opportunity's at hand.
Over the past month I have been working on building opportunity ( Knocking down doors)
I put myself out there like many here have recommended and it worked. My plan behind these jobs is to learn more about real estate and earn as much as possible to funnel into investment property's. I am currently a banker and my income is capped. I want something with unlimited earning potential ( I will work 15 hours a day if that's what it takes)
Loan officer - The first opportunity is getting into the mortgage business. The gentleman is willing to mentor me. His plan would be to take me up through the ranks ( From processor, to loan officer assistant and then to a full commission loan officer. That way I become knowledgeable in all aspects.
Real estate agent - The other opportunity is with a fast growing real estate company. The brokers were top agents and produced big numbers. They are expanding now and are looking for new agents. They are great people. The benefit here would be the ability to learn from top agents who have already been very successful. However this is straight commission vs climbing the mortgage ladder ( Which I do not mind).
If you have read this far thank you for your time.
QUESTION? Which one will teach me more about real estate that I can apply to investing? TWO- which one has more potential to be more lucrative ( The goal is to make as much money as possible and funnel it into rentals)
ANY ADVICE WOULD BE GREAT.
Lol any takers?
