Buyers agents don’t come into play if you’re flipping or doing lease options on a specific property, only if you’re sourcing a property for an established buyer that you have already entered into terms with.

Have you thought about lease options or flips or joint ventures? This will get you buying properties without waiting to build your deposit through your job.
