Welcome to Bigger Pockets!
I just attended our Investor Expo out here in the NW (Seattle, WA) 07/24/14. I'm relatively new myself after fracturing my neck in 3 places 3/23/14. With NO MONEY DOWN, I've managed to make new friends as well as associates bird-dogging. Join you local REIA and go to the members meeting. This is where you'll find your mentor, buyer's, seller's, etc. As soon as I transfer pics from my camera to my networks (social media) which is going to big part of your success. Network with as many investors as possible and spread you deals around through your network. It's a numbers game. "If the numbers add up, It's a deal if you can get the property under contract. Get control of the property and you're on your way to completing your first deal. Talk to EVERYBODY, "I mean EVERYBODY!"
I was visiting a place I frequently go to twice per week and was approached by an employee about the acquisition of a home. I immediately contacted my investor friendly RE agent/broker. You need to build your team of professionals so you work less and have more time to locate and find properties. Sign up for FB, Linkedin, Twitter, etc. Syncronize your accounts so they link into each other and any apps that get to your mobile phone. Pretty soon, we'll be doing everything via IT. By the way, Follow or Connect to anyone that follows you. Check out CleverInvestor.com (Cody Sperber). He's got some good stuff and tricks you can use like his "Online Marketing Guide" Hit me up on Facebook. I have it in pdf. You can download it and get started. I highly recommend this online marketing tool. My network has grown real fast. He's somebody I follow in my network. Why re-invent the wheel? Follow those who have already paved the way. I hope this helps! Happy Investing! P.S. - I was able to send you an attachment. Let my know if you received the pdf file.
