Quote from @Shana Taylor:

Hi. My Name is Shana and I just joined BP. Happy to be here! I have always been interested in real estate investing but have never known how to get my foot in. I just turned 28 and I right now, I am ready to learn more about how to get started and take necessary actions that would lead to me hopefully making my first deal. I live in McDonough, GA 30-40 minutes south of Atlanta. I have never owned a home myself let alone invested in one. The idea of house hacking with a multifamily unit interests me but only if it makes sense in the market I live in. Does anyone have any advice on where I should start?


 Welcome to BP! Joining this community was the first step and in my opinion the next step would be making some business cards and start going to REIAs close to you.  There you will meet all the players in the game and you will get a better sense of how to move forward and make contacts along the way.

Hi new FLIPPERS!

Are you having trouble finding good investment properties? Given the decreased inventory, what is your plan to maintain or increase your growth?

Have you ever tried buying from distressed sellers? Not distressed properties. Distressed sellers.

You need to find people who WANT to sell. Who NEED to sell. If you could help them by buying their house, treating them fairly, and providing the cash they need, doesn't that sound like a win-win deal?

This means looking through public records for probate cases and divorce cases. It could mean talking to folks who lost their job or need to pay medical or car bills. It means speaking to people whose homes are in pre-foreclosure, foreclosure, or are behind on property taxes. You could even offer a lease option for when they're back on their feet... get creative and generous!

The key is that inventory is slim and you need to WORK for good investments. They won't come to you. Go find those WIN-WINs!

And please share how you're maintaining deal flow with other new investors in the comments below! Thank you!


 Really good advice/insight!


Thank you, Mohamed! Anything to add?

 Nope I'm just getting started in this space and what you wrote gave me some insight!

Quote from @John O'Leary:

You can use software to identify and skip trace cash buyers. Consider using the reverse wholesale method, where you connect with buyers at local REIAs and meetups to understand their specific property preferences and then market deals tailored to their needs. Additionally, consider sharing the cost of investorlift with others in similar situations to optimize resources.


 Great piece of advice in terms of reverse wholesale method!

@micheal Jessie 

I build my buyers list by posting each property I get on every platform I can. Even if I have a buyer, I still post it, and as buyers contact me about the property, i tell them that property not available, but I have a conversation with them about their Criteria. Then I ad them to my email list and stay in contact with them. It has help me build a nice buyers pot! Good luck!


 Really good advice Jason!

Hey everyone! My name is Cheryl. I’m an investor that is new to the area, and I

wanted to network with a few other investors so I could learn the market. I mainly

plan to flip and hold rentals, but I’ll also be wholesaling whatever deals don’t work

for me or I can’t close on. I’d love to hear about your investing journey and I hope

I can bring you some value as well!


 Welcome to BP, would love to connect!

Quote from @Shelby Van Horn:

Hey everyone,

I'm Shelby, and I'm excited to be back on the Bigger Pockets forum.  I spent a lot of time here before, but the time was just never right to get started, but things seem to be falling into place now.  My partner and I are diving into real estate investing in Atlanta, and we can't wait to get started.

I've been soaking up knowledge from this community for years while living in California, where I had my realtor license and worked as a listing manager. Now, we're in Georgia and ready to tackle our first flip project.

We're here to learn, share, and connect with fellow investors. 

Looking forward to getting to know you all!

Cheers, 

Shelby
