I work nights so my days are typically free, but I don't want to spend the next 30-90 days vegging out and learning only. I want to get some field experience..

Any recommendations? I have a lot of excess energy to burn off.

I'm new to.

Start with your education of course. From there, look for your local real estate investing club. Find a mentor and submit offers.

This forum is full of great information to get your started.

Most importantly...get involved. Add collegues. Create topics and respond to topics.

Listen to the podcast as well.

There are great people on Bigger Pockets from what I've experienced so far.

Most importantly, have fun and help others accomplish something worthy and significsnt in their lives.

Keep it Wealthy,

Hey Nicolas Pretelt,

Although I'm just starting out in wholesaling myself, from what I've gathered so far from the forum, as long as the numbers look good, you can make money, and help someone sell fast and buy at a discount, close the deal!

Knowing what you know now, for a person who's getting started - in my case wholesaling single-family homes - what would be some realistic goals for your first 30, 60 and 90 days?

Thanks Jenkins Ramon Any specific podcast that you'd recommend first? I already listened to #18 I believe...

Remon Rasho I use Zoho as a way to track my offers, who I talked with, etc. It's inexpensive. You can google "CRM" or "Customer Relations Management software" to research on what system to use.

The key to succeeding in real estate investing is making a lot of offers. To do this, you need:
1. Source of deals - the MLS can be one of them (get an "investor-friendly agent to work with you); vacant homes owned by out-of-state landlords is another good source
2. A way to evaluate what the properties are worth (MLS, Zillow, Trulia)
3. A quick way to evaluate the amount of repairs
4. Source of buyers - below are some ideas for you:
a. Google "we buy houses [your city]"
b. local REI group (in Chicago we have the Chicago Creative Investors Association)
c. Meetup groups
d. LinkedIn
e. Call on "We buy houses" bandit signs

Make it a point to make 1 offer a day and you will be closing 1 deal a month (if not more).

Thanks for this rundown Wendell De Guzman!

I'd strongly recommend figuring out a 14day plan on a 30day outlook of actionable tasks towards weekly, monthly deadlines/goals. By the time you know it, it will be July 1, and without a definitive course of action (syllabus per se), you may be scrambling and worrying that the time has flown by and you're not much further than where you were 60days ago with little to show for, but the ability to write a review or two and maybe even a bookreport on what you've read.

Joshua Dorkin / Brandon Turner is there a xx day (i.e., 30day) action plan in your Ultimate Investor Guide? I remember looking through it, but not finding such an action plan. Might there be any plans to create one (or get a poll on interest for such)? an action plan for each investor/strategy profile one might opt for (i.e., for wholesaler, for rehabber, etc.)

Starting off, it's realllllly too easy to get overwhelmed, spin your wheels, and get frustrated b/c you tried a li'l of everything, but nothing long enough to gain traction in any one direction/objective.

Hopefully, you have a detailed plan in mind or are drafting one to execute next week, if you don't already.

What are your measurable results to work towards in a step by step fashion to reach your goals? Better yet, what goals do you intend on hitting by June 1?

Much luck to you and your wife!

Do you have an ACTION PLAN you're willing to share?

Welcome Remon. I too am a rather new investor, but I will share with you some of the things that have been helpful to me.

1. This site has been great
2. Find local REI clubs and attend meetings and connect with the people there! There are many in your area I'm sure.

Good luck!

I'm a newbie to this game as well, and co-sign Jason Vought insight here. I'm out in LA. I started looking for clubs on Friday, found one, and will be attending the first one this week.

It's good that you CALLED that first bandit sign. I don't like talking on the phone, but I realize that in this game it's one of my most valuable assets. So choosing to CALL someone as opposed to emailing this is another area I would suggest people start at.

Replace your unproductive habits with productive ones.

Thanks again Remon Rasho for your question...

From one newbie to another... lets GO GET SOME!!!
