I think the most valuable skill is networking. Regardless if you have skills in finding deals or have access to capital, without a good network, you won't close the deal.

I agree you need a good network in real estate, but my issue with this belief is that too many aspiring investors get caught up in the networking process and spend little to no time developing actual real estate skills (marketing, sales, negotiation, analysis). I call it "getting ready to get ready". They attend networking events, build websites, print business cards and worry about stuff like LLC structure and taxes instead of learning how to become a deal maker.

As a newbee investor my question then becomes how to find and analyze deals.

I am out of Utah and Just started listening to the bigger pockets podcast today. After finishing the first episode I jumped on here and decided to find and read your posts.

Utah is expensive, I've attended a couple of networking events and attempted to ask questions on Facebook forms, people from a popular group called Renatus continue reaching out to me wanting me to pay for a $27k learning program.

I read read Rich Dad Poor Dad and Cashflow Quadrant so far.

I am puzzled at how people are finding the deals to begin with and discouraged already that I don't know how to build the skills and where to start to get into this network of investing.

Any light that can be shed and tips or guidance would be much appreciated.

As a beginner, the only value I would be able to provide to anyone is finding deals, the notice of default list here in my county on a monthly basis is the only thing I've attempted and my yellow letters have never gotten any response.

I am willing to help provide value however I can as a beginner.

What sites do you use and recommend to skiptrace the returned letters to the NTC list?

Tips on other types of lists and how to market to homeowners would be helpful also.
