Bird Dogging for Coffee

[Alex Deaton]

Hi all! I’m Alex. I have absolutely no experience in buying or selling houses in any capacity but i am your typical patient of analysis paralysis. I’ve read the books, listened to the podcasts, talked to the people but never went out and looked at the properties or analyzed any deals. Which I hear is the best way NEVER to get started. So... I’d like to just post a thread and let everyone know that I am ready to work my butt off for anyone and everyone in exchange for an hour call/Skype/coffee to pick your brains. Have an awesome Christmas everyone!

Have you talked to any lenders yet? I've never even used traditional lending, but I've found that talking to lenders is a great way to learn the basics. If it's your first deal and you want to take on a project, you might be well suited to do a 203k loan or something similar. Getting your docs together is a learning experience in itself. 

Plus, you'll get a lot further with agents/potential mentors showing that you're taking the right steps, even if it's just the basics.
