Hey guys, I am starting my career in real estate next week but I am worried about getting my first couple deals since I am a beginner and many people don't trust newbies. My question is what are my best options to getting my first deals. Is direct mail a better option for investors or is it a good source for agents as well ?

Awesome, congrats man !! I just turned 23 and am looking to get into the same career. Not really feeling this whole 9 to 5 life so it's good to see someone in their early 20's making some good money investing. This gave me another reason why I shouldn't hesitate taking a risk and purchasing some property.

Hello all,

I am in a pickle here. I am looking to get out of my 9 to 5 and pursue real estate but I am held back because I am unsure where to start. I know it is a risk leaving a full time job with steady income and going into a field where money is unexpected. I am looking for some advice on how to get started in this field.

@Cody Campbell @Jay Orlauski  Thanks a lot for the input!! Since I am new to this I am a little concerned on how to get started so I am going to contact a broker to learn the ropes first.

I am new to real estate but just passed my certification test to become an agent. My question is should I pursue the agent side or investor ? I am only 23 so I do not have a whole lot of money
