Getting Started (wholesale or flip)

I am both new to the real estate investing realm and the Atlanta area. I have spent some time in the last week “driving for dollars”. I have found multiple addresses that interests (Some vacant, others dIstressed) me and would like to know what my next steps would be in putting my first deal under contract as a wholesale deal or flip. I am eager to start networking with other investors in the area and willing to share in profits of my first few deals for learning opportunities. I have been reading a lot of forums and articles on BP but I am a very hands on learner and anxious to get my first deal done ASAP. Any suggestions!

@Antwoine Linton

Locate the properties' owners via the Tax Assessor's online database. Look up their phone numbers (WhitePages Premium or other online phone search tools,) and call them. If they don't answer, leave a voice message and also send a text. If the number is not correct, send a letter.

Remember. It is a numbers game. Don't rely only on driving for dollars for leads. There are other sources (free,) like public databases (preforeclosures, tax delinquent, etc.) and online searches.
