Newbie Investor - Here to Learn

[Don Huynh]

Hello BiggerPockets community,

I am a newbie and would like to get a sense of how the more experienced investors typically seek investment opportunities. Do you typically just remain vigilant to various opportunities in your area of interest on several different MLS sites and tour various homes on your own? Do you network with real estate agents this early on to obtain leads for you? If so, how exclusive is this relationship, do you network with multiple RA in one area? My biggest question is how do you typically get a sense of the ARV for BRRRR when predicting how much all-in to calculate the proper LTV? If working with real estate agents at this early of a stage in my learning, I don't want to waste any agent's effort but I do want to garner more experience and comfort in the process so I'd like to pick anyone's brain. Thanks in advance!
