First Steps to My First Deal

[Ariq Sharif]

May 1st 2015 I am taking my real estate investing seriously, and now I am working on getting my first deal. Just a bit of information I live in Delaware.  Being a loan officer for over 10 years I understand the finance side, and I feel very comfortable speaking the language of real estate and speaking with real estate professionals and people in general.

So, I'm hoping what I know will shorten my learning curve.  But, here's the problem; I've never been good at marketing my business. But, I've been good at marketing myself.

Now that I'm seriously looking for my first deal in this new endeavor I want to get up and running as quick as possible. (I know all new investors probably say that) I listened to a podcast that spoke about absentee owner and listsource.com. My question: Is there certain filters/criteria I should put in when I put together my list?

I really don't want to use bandit signs, but I want to use at least two methods to find sellers.  Any suggestions?

Thank you all
