@Shai Flax I simply don't know much about owner financing deals and how they work for me to start trying it. I definitely have to learn more about that before I start trying it. I plan to put as little down on my first property as I can just so that I can get it soon. I figure it would be best to get an investment property sooner rather than later. 

@Andrea Lane I actually started wholesaling before I became an agent. I found that I was meeting a lot of people that wanted sell their homes but the numbers I needed didn't work for them. I realized that if I had my license I could help them out better than if I simply did a wholesale deal. I am thinking about trying to do both though in order to make a little more money to invest. 

Hello BP network! I'm a brand new real estate agent and have been interested in investing for a long time. I learned a lot about flipping, wholesaling, and renting over the last few years but never had the capital to make anything happen. I would love to make the most money in the fastest amount of time possible (obviously) so that I could then go buy rentals which is my end goal. In the mean time, would it be worth it to look for properties to wholesale in order to build up capital and reach my goal faster? Or would it be best to just focus on building capital through being an agent and keep learning about owning rentals and analyzing deals? In the past I used to chase shiny objects and I always want to try something new, but I know the best thing to do when investing is to make a plan and stick to it. I just want to make my plan move quickly. What does everyone suggest?

Note: I'm most likely going to start with single family homes or a duplex for my first rental because I don't have a ton of money to buy commercial...yet.

Hey Bryson, I recently got my real estate license at the start of this year and I work with Keller Williams in Wilmington DE. Knowing how they work and how some other companies work I 100% suggest looking into Keller Williams. They may have a property management division in your area if you want to focus on rentals. Otherwise it might be better to look into an actual property management company rather than a brokerage since most brokerages will focus mostly on residential. If you have any questions about why I suggest KW over anyone else let me know and I can go into detail with that.
