-@Steven Mallow, No, I have not but I will check out those BP Podcasts. Thanks!

-@Bill Devola, I will message you directly with my email address. If nothing else I'm sure as a Realtor I can find you some good deals.

-@Ryan Spinola, Thank you so much for all the information...its been helpful. 

-@Jake Thomas, I appreciate the question. Being a Realtor was never my first choice. It was a bridge I thought I needed to cross in order to do what I really wanted...Real Estate Investment. Why bust my behind working a deal just to then give almost half of my VERY hard-earned commissions to my broker? IJS :/ 

-@Duane Ortega, I will definitely look you up. Thanks!

Thanks to everyone who took the time to advise. Its appreciated!!!

Hello,

This is my first time reaching out to this community for answers. I am a Realtor who is looking to wholesale. I would like to know how to get started. I have gotten as far as signing up to realtytrac.com and I am getting some really helpful ideas but I'd like to hear from anyone here as to how you may have gotten started. Please advise. 

Thanks!

Hello BiggerPockets Community!

My name is Robin Smith and I am a Realtor out of West Orange, NJ seeking to break into the Investment field of real estate. I have always wanted to invest in real estate and thought the best way to do that was to start as a Realtor. What I have found on my journey is that there are so many other ways that I can make my dream a reality. I have recently been listening to Jay Morrison and found that I can move forward with private lending or hard-money lending so I have done some research and found  a hard-money lender that is willing to invest 80% in my deal. Now all I need is a gap-funder who will invest the other 20%...now the work begins and with my experience, skill and hustle as a Realtor not only do I know I can get this done but I will.

Every no is one step closer to a yes and I only need one person to say yes!
