Restarting my dreams
Good afternoon,
I have so many questions but I won't boggle you down with them all. Last year I paid $500 per month for a real estate coach but was unsuccessful in gaining any business in the wholesale real estate market. I am really anxious to start investing so I can own my own time one day. Honestly I just don't know where to start.
Also, I am a new loan originator but I have been in the mortgage business for over 13 years as a processor and closer. I am trying to build my network and was wondering if you all had suggestions on building business in general. I know that networking is key but I am needing some key features that can boost my real estate contacts. I know this is not a mortgage website just though I would ask.
thank you for your help.

Search on BP for at least 10 active experienced members in your area. Call or PM them, have coffee and talk.
Everyone can bring something to the table. Share your goals and frustration, and how you can help them with their business.
That should be a good starting point for you to build your network.
