How to get started ?

Any tips for getting started with real-estate in the local area ?

In my opinion, networking is going to be one of the single most important things you can do. The more people you know the more access to money you have, the more access to deals you  have, and ultimately, the more options you have. My main priority if I were to start over would be to educate myself as much as I can, and meet as many people as I possibly can. Hope this helps
