@Mason Hickman  Pottstown is looking like a decent area for cash flow as long as you find the right tenants. Right now I am considering the student rental market in West Chester. Sorry for the late response.

@John Geldert  sorry for the late reply. I am not familiar with Saylorsburg. I t looks likeits two   hours from me sorry I couldnt be more help.

@Raymond B.  Thanks for tagging me.

@Bill Gulley 

Thank you all for your words of wisdom. I have begun cold calling already and have found success with that. I will be going out this coming week to door knock a couple target neighborhoods.

@Steve Lehman 

 Great suggestion on the For Rent signs. I have begun looking for them.

@Bill G.

 Amazing story. Thank for very much for the words of wisdom and encouragement. I especially like beginning with older people. My grandmother lives in a 55+ community right near me and I will begin their this weekend.

@Jeff S. 

Thank you. Connections are indeed what this is about. Good impressions and a job well done build a solid reputation.

@Andres Jaramillo 

 Time is the one thing I have plenty of. I am focusing on RE full time now and plan on this being my career until I retire.

Phillip Dwyer thank you for the reply. Learning a few neighborhoods that I would like to work in is a benefit. Seems like a win win when looked at from that perspective.

Eric M. I have both time and some money, which is why I wasn't sure if it is worth it or not. I definitely understand the door to door salesman negatives though. Thanks for the reply and input.

Hello BP, So I am newly licensed and am just curious as to how effective door knocking and cold calling truly are? I do not plan on buying fsbo or any other list just picking neighborhoods and walking them and calling them. Does this method really work?

They can easily be here legally and not have a SSN. I would ask for a Visa or green card to determine their status and go from there.

Ultimatley though I would recommend trusting your gut. It is usually a good indicator of things to come.

 Welcome to BP. This site is full of invaluable information that can and will help you along the way.

David Hunter Hello David, That is my main plan of action. I am already talking with and networking with several agents in the area and have one who is willing to pass referrals now that her license is inactive!

Hello BP Nation. Just wanted to say hi and that I am in the process of getting Licensed as a real estate salesperson now. I have a broker picked out and look forward to connecting with as many local real estate agents in the area as possible.
