@Byron Grim you should be talking to potential sellers everyday. The deal might not always make sense for you but it will most likely make sense to someone else if you have to pass on it. You have your real estate license now so you have the ability to broker deals. Look into scripts and start cold-calling duplexes, triplexes, and quadplexes. Have an idea of what they are worth before calling. By the end of the call, offer what could work for you. If that doesn't work for the owner, then offer what you think it could go for as is. Sometimes owners will be completely unrealistic so just say "have a nice day" and press the next button

Build real relationships, call every realtor and ask them if you can help with their business. Be known, don't let a single person in your industry/market exclude your name from any sentence regarding real estate. 

Hey @Byron Grim - congrats on passing your exam! 

As an agent, you'll have a leg up compared to other new investors as you'll be more in the trenches. Are you a full time agent? If so, it would be a great time to start learning about your local market and possibly working with other senior agents to start to learn who the key players are in every geography. 

If you're curious, I also make YT videos and one of my recent videos was actually about what your next steps should be after getting your license. You can also find it on my website, link in my signature. 

Good luck! 

Hello Bryon

Well done on obtaining your license with a good purpose to do so. I recently arrived in the US from the UK and I was planning to do the same thing. Which state did you get your license in and can you recommend a RE training course?
I own 11 MF units here in the US and I have found the best deals tend to through working with one experienced agent with a reliable network per target city/location and setting a goal in terms of preferred cap rate and duration of hold. Teeing up a finance company who will reuse your documents for multiple deals also saves time if you are looking for help with your investment

Hey Byron, congratulations on getting your license. I would recommend that you try to attend your local REI networking groups and meetups. Connect with PMs and Contractors. These people will help you be successful on your RE journey. You can usually find off market deals on social media or by cold calling. Carry out pre-call research, find a good time to call, do it for 1-2 hours a day or more. Let the people you cold call know that you are there to help them. It's hard to answer your question because we don't know exactly what your goals are. Are you trying to do Flips, Turnkey, Cosmetic Rehabs and the likes?
