Where could I start?

[Alfred Green]

I know I'm not alone, so I'm going to ask:

Since there are so many opportunities out there (foreclosures, probate deals, raw land, etc), I'm wondering "where could I start?" I'm reflecting on a young entrepreneur who I saw yesterday who had 3 different deals going, not in real estate. As I shared this with an elder coworker today, he said everyone has to find their niche, and this young guy had his hand in many things, seeking to find that. With his level of assertiveness, opportunities will arise.

Additionally, I'm in the spot where I'm needing and willing to borrow money, but the question of "will this actually pay?" comes up---a very good question.

And the last piece of this is my not knowing any market really well yet, so some education and experience is needed.

What is a good place to start in real estate? I'd really appreciate some imput.

Thanks.
