I'M A NEWBIE.......PLEASE HELP!

[Melissa Harris]

I am very intrigued and very passionate about real estate, I have been an agent in Colorado for 4 years now and I love the agent side of the business but my ultimate goal is to start having my own investments and my own fix n flips. I am just lost on where to start or where I can find those "good" hidden deals. I started listening to the Podcast but only on #4 at the moment. I'm seeing if there is anyone in here that is willing to mentor me and help me get on my feet and get my first few deals :)

Hello There!

If you're an agent you probably already know a golden deal when you see one. It sort of works the same way as when you're an agent-- you want to find sellers who are motivated to sell.

Being on BP you should have all you need to get started! I'd start with that "how to" they have on the starting page here and one of BP's weekly webinars by @Brandon Turner. 

@Anson Young's new book might also be a great way for you to think about how you can find properties.

Just use all you learned about finding listings as an agent and try to convert that to a flip business (of course easier said than done). 

Also, check out the members in your area and send them messages! People here are very friendly :)

Cheers,
