Newbie looking to get started

[Jamel Tate]

I’m new to real estate, I’ve do zero deals so far...I have talked to a real estate agent and she has me on her email list and she sends me all duplex, 3plex,and 4plex units on the mls, Because that’s the way I want to start but I’m just not sure how to analyze deals or what to really look for,any help or advice would be much appreciated. Thank you

Jamel,

For starters, I would recommend putting a professional photo up for your profile. It will show others you are serious and make interactions more personal. Second, start listening to the podcast episodes, beginning with the first year they launched in 2013. There is also a "UBG" (ultimate beginners guide) on this website which would tell you everything you should know about how to use the site and get started.

Take initiative and help yourself first by gaining a baseline of background knowledge. Then use the forums to ask questions and learn more as time goes on. Then, do a deal and learn from experience, as there is no substitute for jumping in and taking action.
