Just got my Real Estate License... what's next?

[Byron Grim]

Hello BP World,

I got my Real Estate license for my own investment purposes. My goal is to purchase of duplex, triplex, or quad. I see places on the MLS. However, I know there are more strategic ways for me to hunt for a deal. There are so many different people that does so many different things, I think I am getting overwhelmed with information that does not apply to my main goal.

Who should I be looking to connect with so I can locate potential deals? 

What are some questions I should ask, or, what exactly should I tell this person so we can get the ball rolling?

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?
