Should my focus be on finding a deal or securing funding?

Hello Bp family,

I have a question that I need help answering, I am a beginner entering this field. When starting out should I place my focus on finding a deal or getting funding in place first before searching for deals?

@Charles Day getting funding in place first will tell you how much of a deal you should be looking for.

Plus, if you’re using a realtor, then they will be more amenable to talking and helping you find properties if they know you have funding in place.
