Theres absolutely positively no way ..... is there?

Michael Johnson, unproven; yet serious.

I walked into a local real estate office and chatted with a lovely realtor named Annabelle. After 15 or so minutes, boom she invites me to her office and we started looking at the MLS. Then, boom I get a "drip notification" I now get All short sales and foreclosures regardless of # of rooms or price to my email every day..

My backup plan is section 8 homes w/ money I am planning on from a different investment. But here is my question.

What can I do or learn to help  assign a million dollar home... Beautiful Naples FL.

I'm going to go to REIAs of course, networking. I'm going to practice running the numbers, but what else?

I might be aiming too high, so be it. I think it was Trump who said Maximize your Options.. and he's Prez, like it or not.

Thanks!

@Michael Johnson I am by no means an experienced investor so take my advice with a grain of salt.

When I first joined this site I got tons of great advice, but one thing in particular really stuck with me. One guy asked me, why should I spend my valuable time helping out a new investor? There are hundreds of new investors on this site every month, why should I help you? What do you bring to the table?

At first I had no idea how to respond, I asked myself, what do I bring to the table? Initially my response was nothing, I can't bring anything to the table. But after hours of reading the forums here and interacting with investors I realized that I do bring a lot to the table. I am in the military so I bring a large network of potential renters and investors. I have lived in multiple areas and markets so I bring market knowledge. But one of the biggest thing I can bring is an open mind and a willingness to work. I can bring my work ethic and my physical labor if need be.

I have learned the seasoned investors love helping new investors get into the business, but you need to prove that you are serious and willing to compensate them(not in the form of money) for their time.

You say you have power creativity and you are a people person, so how can you use your strengths to help yourself and help someone who is willing to mentor you?
