Advice for a new investor

[Spencer Davis]

I am interested in getting started in real estate investing. I am currently looking for advice and guidance.

A bit about me. I have read a couple of books, and have been following bigger pockets, and other real estate podcasts for a couple of years. I am working on my obtaining my bachelors degree, and graduating debt free. I'm finding it hard to network and meet new possible mentors, partners, and friends in the REI industry because of the corona virus. Most events seem to be canceled. I am interested in taking steps now that could help me get started.

Here are some possibly beneficial skills. I am handy (I currently am a construction management major). I am business and financially savvy. I have worked with excell quite a bit. I am not afraid of rejection, cold calling or door knocking. I am good at finding contact information, ie. Who is the owner of a property, and how to contact them. I can really work towards something if I want it.

My weaknesses, I don't where to start or what I could do in my situation.

Any advice or guidance would be appreciated.
