how to get started ?

[Sabena Suri]

Hello ,

I guess this question has been asked so many times ...but how do I get started ?

1.  Read, read, read.

2.  Figure out what you want to do (house flipping, rentals, multi-family, wholesaling, lease options, notes, commercial, etc)

3.  Read, read, read about that specialty

4.  Put together a basic plan

5.  Start executing on your plan

In addition, here are some other things to do when getting started:

- Join your local Real Estate Investors Association (REIA) and start networking

- Ask some local investors to lunch (you pay) and be prepared with some good questions

- Find a local investor who you can volunteer to do some work for
