Question

Any tips for getting started with real-estate  in the local area ?

James G. · Answer

In my opinion, networking is going to be one of the single most important things you can do. The more people you know the more access to money you have, the more access to deals you  have, and ultimately, the more options you have. My main priority if I were to start over would be to educate myself as much as I can, and meet as many people as I possibly can. Hope this helps

start DMing people in your market that are on BP and grab coffee.

Hey Dave I would like to meet up and do you know many contacts ? Also maybe some specialized accountants focused in real estate investments ?

Hi Chad. I am just a bit north of you in Albany. We just had a meetup earlier this month in Albany which I think would be the closest to you. We should be doing them the first Tuesday of each month. It will be posted on the events page on Bigger Pockets.

You have already started the education process now it is time to go out there, meet people, and see what works for you.

Message me and we can see about meeting up to help get you on your way.

Hi Marlen that’s where I’m at looking for a mentor in my area, I’ve been reading and listening to lots of podcasts, I own a piece of developable property on a note and just bought my first single family house!! Look forward to picking your brain thanks for the response!!

@Chad Backus Network and look for mentors in your area. Overall it would also be a good idea to read books and listen to podcasts to be prepared when your first deal comes.

Chad Backus · Answer

@James Gleeson yes that does James thank you for the response! Trying to find people in the BP community in my area!
