I am just starting out. What are your recommendations to get a fast start to closing deals(that don't include buying into gurus or courses that don't work)?

@Jennifer Blanks...I agree with Michael find out your investment strategy first. Also, from newbie to newbie....please do not buy anything to gain knowledge, there is a lot of free information here, and seasoned investors on here are more than willing to answer questions to guide you; just ask the right questions in the right forum location. Furthermore, try to find a seasoned investor locally to mentor you; they are right here on BP, that is how I found mine and I getting further ahead because of him.

Put your money into marketing and into trying to land deals. For, example if you get a wholesaling deal you may give a seller a $10 down-payment to land the contract. Finally, do not put too much effort into trying to learn everything. Once you get a handle on what investment strategy you want to get into, spend no more than a week to educate yourself plus to organize altogether, then get out there and do something.
