Finding a more experienced real estate investor
Hi, I am Dianna. I am relatively new to real estate investing and am very eager to get started. Can anyone share with me the best way to find a more experienced investor with whom I can work? I live in the metro Atlanta area.

You've found the best spot on the internet for REI info.
Atlanta has at least 2 REI clubs, and probably more. Those are great places to meet people.
Start chatting with the agents in your area. Chances are they know a few folks.
If you want to start on your own path:
1. Set, and stick to, a budget. The important item in that budget is "RE Investing Money." Every paycheck, put an amount you can afford into a separate bank account. These are the funds you will bring to the table when you want to start on your first investment.
2. Find a topic that interests you. The basics as I see them are Buy and Hold, Flips and Notes. There are hundreds more things that might catch your eye in RE.
3. Take a look at becoming a Realtor. If you buy your first place on the MLS, think of it as a 2% discount.
The biggest thing is to keep yourself interested.
Happy information gathering!!
