So the term engineer is really vague, I'm a software developer, however, some would say software engineer. This is the best time to get into real estate with the market slowly crashing.

@John Marchi I would first figure out your financial goals. Then you can use those to determine your strategy, start with the end in mind.

@Trevor Aydelott it’s because people are taught to be average and do just enough.

@Deniqua Antoine the one thing I wish I did first was found a mentor. Now that I have Grant Cardone and Tai Lopez I feel like I’m moving in the right direction.

Hey @Barry Cooley, I was recommended Chad Anderson from LoanDepot.

Hey @Ashely Perkins welcome to BP!  I recommend going to MCREIA, there is one today at Legend Realty on Memorial Parkway it starts at 6pm.  It's a great place to meet local investors and start learning.  If you show up 15-30mins early you'll have more time to network.

Hey @Christopher Evans, I'm a Wholesaler that lives in the Madison/Huntsville area.  I know a few Realtors, if you would like more info feel free to contact me.

Hey @Josh Banks, 

1. Know your numbers cash on cash return, Cap Rate
2. Learn your local market (network with local investors, maybe find a mentor).
3. Learn how to estimate rehab costs, I recommend J Scotts books
4. Get a wholesaling contract, find a local closing attorney that works with investors/is an investor.
5. Market to find deals, cold call, drive for dollars.
6. Answer your phone when people call.
7. Follow up with leads until they sell.
8. Sign a contract with your seller.
9. Send your contract to a title company, they will do a title search.
10. Market your deal to buyers, this is one of the places networking will help you.
11. Close the deal.

Weclome to BP @Brandon Drake! Have you been to any of the local REIA's. I personally go to MCREIA, there is a meeting every month. It's a great place to learn and network. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or if you want to talk real estate.

@Michael B. I go to MCREIA, Zack the president has been investing for 17 years.  He teaches a new topic each month and sometimes he brings in speakers.
