Love my job but am hitting a wall

Looking for a bit of advice here. I have worked in value add multi-family for about 1.5 years now, and have been able to rack up what I would say is a good amount of experience. 5 Transactions ~150MM, escpecially considering the deal team is just me and an owner and I handle (with guidance obviously) all underwriting, closing, dd, and play a big part in debt, jv, and PSA negotiations.

However, recently I have started getting the itch for something more -- my favorite part of the business is definitely evaluating new and current investments -- i do not have the personality for sourcing, and handling the transactions was great to learn, but defintiely is admin work. Some may disagree with me, but at the end of the day value add multifamily is about as simple as it can be in real estate. And while I do have a lot more to learn, I feel like I have almost gotten all that I can from this job, and since I am so early on in my career I feel like that is a pretty bad feeling to get.

Has anyone hit the same wall? if so, what did you do? I am thinking debt brokerage or LP fund, as I would like to see more deal flow across multiple asset classes.
