The best way to build a buyer"s list is to find a deal that people want to buy. If they can make money from your deal, they'll want more deals, that's your buyer's list. Don't be afraid of not being able to find a buyer once you get a property under contract. As long as you have an out in your contract (partner approval is popular), if you can't find a buyer, your deal falls thru and you find another deal.

@Tyler Brown Plenty of NYC investors make a killing in Philly. My advice would be come down for a day and set up meetings with about 5-10 RE agents that seem credible after some online digging and BP mingling. Have them take you thru areas that they would recommend and places they'd suggest you invest in. Keep your budget in a range that wont absolutely kill you if it all goes south, read philly real estate blogs and then buy some property and find out for yourself. Anything in NYC is about 10x's a comparable property in philly so your playing a relatively small game when you come down to philly, take some risks and make a bunch of $$$.

@Justin Lee

I bought my first house (a duplex) in about 6 weeks from when I started. I wouldn't recommend that but I really wanted to move out of my parents house so I jumped at the first opportunity I found and 6 years later its been a great investment for me. My point is there's no "right" timeline or step by step process  that always works. I like the saying "If you stay ready than you never have to get ready," meaning that if your saving your money and have $$ for a down payment together and you're looking for deals and opportunities to buy everyday you will find one and as long as your ready, you can buy your house. Look for the deal and take action, the steps will happen as a process of buying the house.

Welcom to BP @Isaiah Cleckley

The best advice anybody will give you is take action, the rest will take care of itself. If you're taking action every single day you will learn the market and be able to see the deals. Good luck!
