OfflineWell I have been to the Buying Summit and Boots on the Ground...my mind is going in so many directions. I am so excited to begin. I have talked with a Realtor in Texas and have looked for leads, then my nerves start up and I worry about what to do next.

I'm not but a few months past were you are and I was there I let the fears hold me back at first but I kept realizing the only thing stopping me is me and everyone saying I cant or I'm a fool. The first thing you need to do is take a deep breath. then figure out what strategy you want to use. if your still thinking about that do some reading on here and you'll find an angle you want to work. forget what anyone thinks ha-ha we'll both be laughing all the way to the bank this is real as you let it be! I'm finally making offers and hope to have one close soon. most of the time experts tell you how to do something and there is a Grey area I don't understand or they don't give you here's some baby step info from my learning's.
1.get a advertising campaign together. you can order bandit signs on line. make or order some business cards free advertising that says we buy houses and your name. you can put the signs up or put an ad on craigslist for someone else to I offer money plus a commission for leads. create your free Dg website. If you want to setup a business phone line you can I use toktumi Its 9.99 a month and its a smart phone application so cool.
2.Build a buyers list. look up your local real estate investing meeting and go you'll find contacts there. call we buy signs ads/numbers and ask if they re and investor or a wholesaler as well. look up hard money lenders there mostly buyers as well. ask your Realtor for leads. you only need a couple to start if you have a deal that's a real deal it will sell.
3.if you have not found a Realtor. use a shortend version of the Matt Larson letter and post it on craigslist under jobs and post motivated real estate agent wanted and put the letter in the posting. after you talk to a couple and explain what you want to do you'll find a Realtor. have them start sending properties for you to look at and make some offers. I put every property i look at through deans free total view system great info. also look on here for making offers and you'll see good ways to present your offers. and repeat they cant be afraid to low ball and offend other Realtors.
4.call title/settlement companies and find one that is investor friendly and can Handel the closings. and is familiar with the process. you may have lawyers in your town that do them as well.
5.now start making offers with your Realtor. on for sale by owner sites and calls through your advertising search and offer every day thats what I'm doing and eventually start cashing checks.
I'm going to post this as Baby Steps For Beginers.
