Building your Network

[Christopher Barrett]

Hello all, 

I have found a foreclosed on SFH that needs some love right near my current residence the current list price is $7,500 but I would bet it could be bought for less. I think this would be a great opportunity for me to finally take the plunge into real estate.

However, I would like to partner with someone who has experience in these types of deals as this would be my first time. I would be willing to put in all of the sweat equity and manage the property once it has been rented in addition to putting up capital. But, I would feel more comfortable if I had someone experienced to coach me through the process.

As of yet I have been unable to find such a person. 

Where have you had success finding other investors in your area? Did you do your first deal alone?

Thanks for any information you can provide.
