[Aaron Olson]

Hello! I will be getting my license within the next 2 weeks and I am wonder where to get stated. I want to hit the ground running and be out of my current day job within 6 months. What is the 80/20 I need to focus on?

I think the best way (other than continuing to educate yourself) is to start networking with actual investors. Go to the local REIA's, call potential key contacts and maybe interview them (agents, lawyers, contractors, etc.) and the like. Then put pencil to pad and hammer out a business plan. You want to focus on one or two major avenues of finding deals and not dabble all over the place. Then, pick a drop dead date and get started.
