New Agent in Michigan

[Account Closed]

Hi, as the title says I'm newly licensed here in the Metropolitan Detroit area(Michigan). The process of completing the required education, PSI examination, and deciding on a sponsoring broker were all easier than I expected. After conquering that hurdle I find myself before the Biggerpockets community, looking for guidance from skilled professionals willing to bestow wisdom earned from experience. I'm looking for any advice finding residential buyers and sellers, as well as sponsoring apartment syndications starting at 8+ units. Getting started as an agent I have zero contacts and zero experience, considering, I'm willing to exploit unconventional methods of finding clients as a way to enter this career field.
