New Aspiring Investor in Akron Oh

Hello BP family! I'm a licensed Realtor With KW for 15 months and as of late have been getting calls and working with investors. With that being sad I've transition from building my business on the retail sales side to the investing side. I still plan to keep my license but I'd like to run a predominantly investing business. I've realized over the past year that the process and results of investing is more conducive to my goals than retail sales. I got into the real estate industry to create passive income opportunities and for freedom and I believe investing is the way to go. I'm located in Akron Ohio and would like to start by networking and connecting with other investors,contractors, lawyers in my area. I have little financial resources but all the time in the world I believe wholesaling, transitioning into fix and flip then buy and hold is the route I'm going to take. Any tips tricks or suggestions? Thanks!

    Welcome. No words of wisdom unfortunately, all my investors I've known long before they became investors with me. Just keep networking and I suspect you'll find investors come easier than you think.

    You have an advantage because you already should have a pretty good idea of your market. I just started buying in Akron. I attended the REIA last summer and it seems to be really active and really helpful. I would start there as a place to network and learn.
