Lesson learned: slow follow-ups and poor lead management can be expensive.I knew I had to change how I handled leads, so I started automating follow-ups—and the difference was huge.

Then once you know how you will get the deals, that is where the fun starts..

If you were to lay out your 1 - 3 year goals, what type of investments are you looking to start with and where do you see yourself in 3-4 years? 

If someone has a deal that they are up over $1m (including the small cash flow) and I was starting out, I would be all over the financials and the plan. 

Go to GET STARTED > EVENTS AND MEETUPS at the top of your screen.

Most folks start as leasing agents and work their way up from there. 

Instead of shelling out $60K for a $250K deal, maybe some of you can help me figure out (or give referrals) to title companies, etc, or give overall advice how to save me money from this enormous financial endeavor (closing the deal).Thanks!

I will start by fixing and flipping properties.

Websites like Furnished Finder and even hospital or university housing boards could be good starting points to market your property.
