Newbies from Tacoma!

Hi BP Community! My partner and I are new to REI and have finally gotten the nerves to start reaching out and hopefully begin to build a network. It feels like we have been exploring all sorts of different options for how to begin investing (i.e. buying and holding via creative financing, flipping), but we have finally hit a wall. We need support and guidance.

This is probably one of those chicken and egg dilemmas...but how do we get our first deal without having experience? People are telling us they will work/invest with us only after we have some experience? The question is...how do we get experience without experience?? Any suggestions/directions would be helpful???

We actually spoke with someone today about flipping, and he was hesitate because we didn't have experience, but the good news is that we convinced him to let us find a deal first and go from there...
