Welcome to BP I'm in stl if your ever over this way wouldn't mind networking. I'm a newbie learning and looking to get started as well

Hey how are things going. Glad to see someone in stl!!!! There are not to many of us... I'm a newbie and would like to meet with ya to see if we can work something out .

That's awesome stuff getting a meetup going in KC. Good luck so wish I could make it. I'm working on trying t get something going in St. Louis! Hopefully here soon I'll be posting something If anyone has ideas or would like to help please let me know.

To all... I do apologize for being random with my last post and I know you said NO newbies but if you change your mind Id love to just be a part and listen and learn.

Dell- I was alerted by keyword alerts about your post regarding your friend in St. Louis who does 30+ deals a year! Wow!!!! Anyways I'm in St. Louis yes I am a newbie but I'm looking for someone to not necessarily mentor me but to just meet with and talk RE with. I'm in two REIA groups and have just started to reach out and try to meet a select few that seem to know the right things to be successful. Anyways I know it's a crazy question but would you mind if when you speak to your friend here in stl if be interested in meeting up or connecting. Yes I'm fully aware this is a weird request seems we don't know much of each other so maybe we could get to chatting as well. Check out my profile if interested and don't think I'm totally crazy lets get the networking going!

Alex- welcome to BP your we share very similar stories on gettin to BP. I realized that if I don't change my blue collar ways and start working smart it's gonna be a long life!!! My wife and I have been listening through the podcast and reading tons of stuff. Your right slow process! Good luck

@ Chris Adams. Ugh I feel like everytime I post a thread I double post wonder if that means I should stop double tapping post reply. Thank you for letting me know

@Wes Eaves I know I've been listening to podcasts and reading a lot and I know the idea was a little out there was just curious on the feed back. I've looked at a lot of properties and haven't been able to find the deal for me yet. Getting a little nervous and anxious and thinking crazy things. All podcasts say find the deal and things will come so was just thinking out loud a way to get a deal. But your right I should keep focus on my goals and plans and not get radical ideas yet! Thank you

I'm needing a place to start. I have selected the areas I would like begin my investing. I would like to mail some letters out but not exactly sure how to go about this process. As for what kind of deals I'm looking for. I don't know. I figure once I got a deal I'd know better how to handle it. Whether I'd wholesale, B&H, or fix and flip! Am I crazy for considering this strategy to find my first deal? Would it be a better idea to use a REA or Craigslist?
