Starting out in real estate

[Robert Rychtarczyk]

Hello, I am in the state of Indiana, south of Indianapolis. I bought my first home a single family (primary residence). I would call it a buy and hold long term with rehab eventual. I purchased at 170k during a great time we believe because two homes just sold for 200k and 225k in the neighborhood. I feel stuck now though. Because I am trying to get further in real estate investing into a second home and so on from then. I have been following webinars, BiggerPockets podcasts, blogs for 2-3 months on real estate. I want to real learn and grow about real estate. I am confused on the driving for dollars or when you find a deal. How do you get it under contract and who is even going to buy it? How to find the buyer. How to find deals? Or if not how to find financing for a BRRRR or any property? My question comes down to what is the layman terms to getting straight into real estate and connected with the right people. Thank you so much. Stuck and confused Newbie
