Starting Out in New Jersey

[Adam Eckhoff]

Good Afternoon BP Community,

Quick questions regarding starting out in my real estate investing journey. After everything I read, it seems like it all comes down to "having a team", "if the numbers are right", and "finding a discounted property".

Investing technique: Preferably BRRRR Method. 

My questions are: How do I find a trust worthy team, broker, contractor, etc..? How does one find a "discounted property". Do I befriend brokers or wholesalers, and just WAIT until they tell me about the discounted property? How do i estimate renovation costs? I have sooo many questions. 

Thanks,

Adam.
