How to get the snowball moving faster

[Benjamin Sussman]

I’m a newbie real estate investor from Chicago. I bought a 4 flat in Chicago at the end of October and I’ve now saved up enough cash to put 20% down on an investment property in the same area as my current property. I’ve been looking for my second deal for just about two months now and my search has gone nowhere.

For those of you who felt the same way, that things went really slow when starting out and what helped you deal with the slow start?
