Looking for people in NE Oklahoma to connect with

[Wesley Childers]

I live in the very NE corner of Oklahoma. Miami, OK to be exact. I'm about 40 minuets away from Joplin Missouri, and an hour and a half away from Tulsa. So far I've read "Rich Dad Poor Dad" and I am currently reading Brandon's book "The book on rental property investing." I also have a book on flipping houses that I am going to read next. I listen to the bigger pockets podcast while I'm working. So I feel like I'm doing pretty much everything I can to learn before jumping into my first deal. I would really like to connect with someone who is already in the business who is willing to give out advice, and if there is anything I can do to help that person out I would be willing to help for the knowledge I would gain. Perhaps you would like to start investing in the Joplin, or Miami market? I could go view the property for you and take pictures and try to find obvious defects that the pictures do not show? Just an idea. Also I would like to know if there are any meet's for Tulsa real estate investors. If not perhaps anyone reading this would be willing to connect and start one?

@Wesley Childers

You are off to a good start by humbly reaching out to investors and willing to help them in exchange to continue to learn. A few years ago I found myself in the same place. I had read the Rich dad and poor dad and had listened to multiple hours on podcasts before taking action 2 years later. 

You may be in the position that you need to learn more by doing it. It important not to get caught on the shiny object syndrome as this will keep you away from taking action. There will always be a better deal out there than the one you are currently looking at. It’s key to define; location, cash flow, equity desired and exit strategy. If the deal you are looking at meet your defined numbers push to take action and trust the numbers and your knowledge. Be sure not to place all your eggs in one basket. 

I enjoy sharing any knowledge I have gained in the past few years in case you would like to chat. Good luck on your journey
