OfflineHey everyone, my name is Phil Stewart and I'm new to real estate. I'm working right now as a welder/body mechanic for the Government. A lot of people in this area (Texarkana, Tx.) think they would like to work where I do. I want to make a nothing position for them. I want out. I'm a US veteran and as far as jobs go working for the government has it's perks, but I don't make enough money. I've done some reading and have just enough knowledge to get myself in to trouble with real estate. Can anyone offer some pointers to the new guy trying to accomplish his first deal. Thanks in advance for any advice.

My advice is to read all of Dean's books (if you haven't already) and then just take action! You need to build your buyer's list first if you are going to wholesale. Also, read as much as you can on this website...it is full of information!
Don't be afraid to make mistakes--that's the only way you will learn. Also, try to find a local real estate investing club and join it. You will find that their are other newbies there too. It's a great place to find cash buyers too.
Just keep reaching out to others for help and you will get there. Don't ever give up on your dreams!
