Building Connections in Tyler for 1st Deal

[Ben Harvey]

Hey BP! 

I'm looking to take the first step in my real estate investing career in Tyler market. I'd love to connect with any investor friendly agents, GC's, property mangers in the area. I currently live in north Dallas and want to network as much as I can to get my first deal in the coming months. 

Any additional advice about Tyler or people you think I should talk to would be helpful!

I will caution you that most agents have caught onto the need to be "investor friendly" as a way to increase their business. While you are looking for an agent, don't be afraid to interview them on their REI experience, how many properties they have themselves etc. I would reword your search for "any agents that are also Real Estate Investors," so that you can use their personal experience to benefit you. Good luck!
