There's no step by step guide but there are key things : Learn: RE strategies, what interests you, what do people in your area need.Connect: find a mentor, accountability group and be around those doing what you want to do.Help: solve problems- do people need dealflow, property mgmt, construction expertise, etc.

It's a winning combination of direct access to industry experts coupled with building lasting relationships and get direct feedback on your strategies in small-group format.
