Welcome Brandi! I'm an investor-friendly agent in Indiana and love talking to people who are new to the game. 

I'm only 23 years old, but I've had my license for two years now. I decided, like you, that I should get my license first before I invest so I can get my foot-in-the-door in the real estate world.

You'll love it, there is always so much to learn, but that's what makes it exciting.

Feel free to message me if you need any help!

@Alice K.

I love the advice, I'm currently looking at email marketing programs that can have multiple lists. I'm definitely going to set it up by a couple criterion at least, if they are investor/retail and their location. This can make it so I can send out broadcast newsletters to the retail based on their location and I can send out more direct, these-are-great-opportunity emails to the investors based on location.

See, always learning something new. :)

@Joel Owens

I feel like I should pay you for the advice you have given me.

I understand that research and knowing your market is key, and I hope my background in advanced statistical analyses will be able to give me an edge is some way since I have access to programs a lot of other real estate agents do not have.

I'm actually working on a quick-fix analyses sheet and would love to share it with you afterwards and see what you think of it.

@Oren K.

I definitely want to work with investors.

I understand that each sale will be harder, the commissions will be smaller and the research will be more extensive. But it's all worth it because I'm trading a smaller portion of profit for something just as valuable; networking.

I want to get into investing myself, and if I'm able to make connections at my age and through being a real estate agent, I will have a decent network around me by the time I'm able to make the plunge. Who knows? Maybe I'll stumble upon a few partners along the way!

And if that fails, like you said, time for luxury retail buyers. lol

Loving the advice so far everyone! Sounds like I need to network extensively to those who supplement the industry like attorneys, mortgage brokers, etc., so I am able to give valuable input to investors on who they can go to.

@Alice K.

Do you think it would be smart to set up two different emails? One just for investors so they aren't sent the newsletters that non-investors get? I do want to set up a drip email marketing system, but if investors generally hate them, then it would make sense to have two separate emails.

@Christina Yoon

Exactly! I want to be the one that finds them the deal and presents them with it.

@Mike Dymski

That is where BiggerPockets is gonna help me so much. I have access to a library of information and calculators that I can use to help investors and present them with deals I have found.
