@Caleb Brown thanks for the response Caleb. Do you have a specific CRM you use?

After deciding to pursue a flip for my first investment, the next (and most crucial) step is securing the right deal.

We’ve all heard the strategies—
-Driving for dollars
-Networking
-Cold calling
-Direct mail or email
-Text campaigns

They all sound great in theory, but I keep asking myself:

What really works when you're just starting out?

Personally, I’ve been testing a system:

• I generate leads through DealMachine
• I send a mass email
• I plan to follow up with text campaigns via Launch Control (once my EIN is finalized)

But I’m curious…
-Are people having more success with phone calls, texts, or emails?
-What’s your favorite way to build rapport with a seller?
-Do you have a follow-up process that made all the difference on your first deal?

I’d love to hear about how you locked in that first property. I’m here to learn—and to take action.

Thanks in advance!

This past weekend, I had the chance to get out of the city and go camping with friends here in Minnesota. Our state is full of incredible state parks that fill up fast every summer, and it’s no surprise. Minnesota is packed with natural beauty and unique tourist attractions.

As someone new to the investment world, this trip got me thinking: what about investing in glamping or Hipcamp-style properties?

I’d love to hear from anyone in the BiggerPockets community who has experience in this space.

Here are a few questions I’m curious about:

• What are the key things to consider before getting into a Hipcamp or glamping investment?
• What types of properties tend to be hidden gems or gold mines for this kind of model?
• Are there people here who do this full time, or offer opportunities to partner or learn?

I’m early in my real estate journey, but incredibly grateful for the insights I’ve gained so far through this platform. Thank you to everyone who shares advice, experience, and encouragement.

Looking forward to learning more from you all.

Best,
Keegan Rosett

@Nicholas L. Hey Nick thanks for the post. How do you find these deals or would you be willing to walk me through that? Thanks!

@Chris Seveney I am getting my real estate license and looking to utilize the income from that. I'd like to build an investment company and started the LLC. This was a future goal. For now, I am just networking and looking to get creative and potentially partner on some deals.

 Thanks for the reply. Do you have experience using PropStream? I'd love to discuss how you utilize this tool to secure deals off market. Thanks! 

Hey BP community,

I recently took a shot at getting pre-approved for a mortgage through a local lender — a friend of mine. Being a new entrepreneur with little to no provable income, I knew it was a long shot. Sure enough, I was denied for pre-approval.

That moment kicked off a wave of conversations around creative financing, and I started learning about strategies like seller financing, subject-to, and finding off-market deals. The challenge now is: how do I actually find these types of deals?

As someone brand new to the industry:

• Where do you even begin to find sellers open to creative terms?

• Are there specific lists, tools, or marketing methods that helped you early on?

• Has anyone here partnered with investor-friendly communities or individuals to help get that first property under their belt?

My personal goal is to own my first home (ideally a house hack or small multifamily) by the end of 2025. I’m committed to putting in the work — I just need some guidance on where to dig.

Thanks in advance for any advice. Grateful to be in this community as I navigate the early stages of my investing journey!

Hey BiggerPockets,

Over the past few weeks, I’ve experienced a major mindset shift. I went from applying to job after job… to simply starting real conversations with people.

And let me tell you, it made all the difference.

We live in a time where access to information and people is literally at our fingertips. YouTube, LinkedIn, BiggerPockets-they’re not just platforms, they’re launchpads. But here’s what I’ve learned: if you’re not telling your story or asking the right questions, you’re leaving opportunity on the table.

A recent call with a mentor turned into a deep dive into real estate investing — something I never expected to pursue. That one conversation led to a community of investors who genuinely want to help others succeed. From there, things started to snowball.

Just last weekend, I found myself being a small engines mechanic (don’t ask), but it reminded me: if you’re willing to learn, you’ll go places you never thought possible.

This community has been a big part of that shift. The encouragement, transparency, and willingness to share — it’s rare and powerful.

So here’s my takeaway and challenge:
If you’re just getting started or feel stuck — stop trying to figure it all out alone.
✅ DM someone.
✅ Ask real questions.
✅ Offer value when you can.
✅ Stay curious.

Someone in this community might just have the insight or encouragement you’ve been waiting for.

Let’s keep building — together.

 Hey Mike, 

I would love to speak with you more on the model that I have invested in. The business involves the purchase and or renting of properties to Airbnb out to people. You are correct in that I am not involved in the direct purchasing and owning of the properties but I was able to negotiate some equity in the company. Let's connect.
