Newbie Investor looking to make connections in Biloxi , Ms

[Cedric Jenkins]

Hello BP family, I am about a month into Real Estate Investing. After a few months of research and listening to numerous podcasts, I “drove for dollars” yesterday . There are few properties that I like that are set to be auctioned in a week. Should I contact a lender before to have money to make an offer or after the auction to secure it after having the down payment on my own ?

I’m ready to make a splash just confused on securing funding for my first property.

Also, I am interested in joining and connecting with REI in the gulf coast of Mississippi area.

Thanks.
