1st time Real Estate Investor looking for help in Atlanta

[Cresundo Whitaker]

I am need of a mortgage broker, a real estate agent and lots of information. I am new to real estate investing and I want to get started and get my first deal done by the end of the year if possible. I have a full time job but will volunteer my time, stuffing envelopes, or helping on a worksite just to learn something. In addition to that I think I have a good idea on what to do with this property that I found on redfin and I would like some help with financing and buying. Totally new to the process of buying property so please bear with me. So just to recap I would like to connect with

A mortgage broker or loan officer to get some financing so I can buy.

A real estate agent to help me with the ins and outs of properties, and what is hot in the market

A real estate investor (flipper, landlords, wholesellers, etc.) to exchange information for time. Not looking to get paid in anything but experience and of course the more I learn the more I can help out your business.

All based out of Atlanta or maybe Charlotte as well. I live in Atlanta right now but I am thinking of moving to Charlotte for work so I will keep options open in both locales for now.

Thank you in advance and I look forward to meeting some interesting people very very soon. 

P.S. I can treat lunch, brunch or coffee for information as well. Depending how my money looks that day, lol
