@Kendrick HudsonKendrick, you have hopefully networked in your area with professional, active investors who will be a great resource for you.

If the agents you noticed were dialing through zip codes they were probably using something like Cole Real Estate Resource/ Cole Directory.

If not, understand that you skipped some steps in the process and make corrections so you are able monetize every valuable lead you obtain. 

I have 6 individuals interested in lending to me and I hope to demonstrate that we can help each other.My thinking is that I provide my track record, the resources at my disposal, my ideas for buy and holds and flips/buy and hold and future prospects.

I have buddies in PA getting SFR from the county tax repository sales for $500-2.500 each.Locate and attend 3 different local REIA club meetings great place to meet people gather resources and info.

Use all of the resources you have here and try and learn as much as you can.

I'm hoping Bigger Pockets will be an valuable resource for me and help me to grow my business.I am currently studying for a Masters in Real Estate Development.

I've listened to many of the podcasts, which was the main reason I joined, but I've also started using the actual site and blog as resources, which inspired me to say hello.My family has been involved in real estate for quite some time.

My husband and I are new to real estate investing but have found the BP resources to be great to expand how we think about investing and strategies to move on our goals.
