Should I start working in a title company? I am new to RE Invest?

Question

Hi everyone!

I am new to the  Real Estate industry from Omaha Nebraska. My focus is to be a wholesaler, and once I build some capital begin purchasing homes for renting or flipping.

I was wondering if any of you would recommend working in a title company to learn more and meet potential partner investors. Any tips on how to grow my business would be greatly appreciated.

@Mauricio Davila Welcome to BP my friend and to the world of real estate. Good on you for taking action and joining BP. I would suggest filling out your profile and doing a few things. Join as many real estate groups on Facebook as you can, start seeing who posts on there and reach out to them asking for help, wisdom or advice. Message people here on Bigger Pockets and do the same thing. Go to real estate meet ups in your area which can be found at meetup.com. You can meet so many people by doing this and build such a powerful and great network! Many people come and go here on BiggerPockets. Don't be that new person that posts once and then never posts again. This site is just like any other area of real estate. You need to be consistent and patient. Continue to log on here, post, ask questions and read other comments and posts!

To answer your question about working with a title company, yes it can be a good thing. However title companies usually don't work with investors too often. There are some that are "investor friendly" but the majority of their work is not from wholesalers. So I wouldn't go into it believing that 50% of your work is going to be dealing with investors, unless you can specifically ask to only do work for those clients. I'm no master on title companies so I can only speak from my perspective and limited knowledge from the ones here in my city. It is definitely worth a look though! Good luck and I hope to see you around the site!
