New Investor

[Eddie Wright]

Hi everyone, I've been here on bigger pockets for probably a month now. I just need some advice. I'm a new investor just starting out, I have some training videos and books I have been reading and watching. But now I feel like I'm ready to put the training into action. I currently live in the south Florida area. The other day I went "driving for dollars". And to my surprise I found a hand full of distressed properties. I know what to do, but I feel a little nervous to be doing everything on my own. Just need positive feedback. Thanks

@Eddie Wright Download the MeetUp app and find local REI meetings. Head out to one, find an investor doing the type of investing that you also want to focus on, and offer to help them for free with whatever they may need (finding deals, marketing, painting their flip, organization, etc) in exchange for their mentorship throughout your first deal. This will get you the help you need and put you on the right track. Good luck!
