Wholesale, Short Sale, Probate... where do i Start

[Edwin Brown]

What's the best way to get started in a new market? I'm moving to Chattanooga and would like to know what everyone thinks is the best method to get started.

I would start by finding the local REIA and become a member. By attending the meetings you'll find the people who are "doing" things. Don't be afraid to introduce yourself...

Start asking a bit about investor friendly attorneys and Realtors, a closing agency, etc..

Specifically "what" you do from that point is determined by your education, resources, and business model.

If you were an established investor in another area, I'd suggest doing whatever you're already good at... but if you're a new investor "in general", I'd agree, start with either wholesaling or bird-dog.

This business is easiest when you're mixing and mingling, so "get out there", meet some people, and most importantly, take action!
