What decisions do investors need to make to do their first deal?

[Joshua Dorkin]

Hey Guys -

I was hoping for your feedback on a process question we've been pondering.

What decisions do you believe an individual needs to make in order to close their first deal?

I'd love to hear your thoughts on those steps you underwent to get to your first deal.

e.g. (in no particular order)

• Decide on how you're going to finance the deal  
• Choose a farm to focus on
• Find an agent to work with 

Thanks in advance everyone.
