@Zoe Brennan You can use the info below to pursue either real estate sales or investment sales:)Why does everyone want to chase strangers – and ignore their own personal network?

Stick to areas with better soil conditions like Frisco, McKinney, and Rockwall, and network with local investors to learn from their experiences.

We do have a lot of networking in the chat, in break out sessions and in Q & A.

Over time, I’ve built a network of 20-30 clients who are always eager to explore new opportunities, and right now, real estate is at the top of our list.I’m diving deep into how to best use $150K-$200k in 0% interest business funding for real estate investments.

You are going to want to find some good wholesalers in your area that can help you find distressed properties, or network/cold call some home/duplex owners in your area to see if you can find a discounted distressed properties, use the heloc to get hard money loan.  

NETWORK!!!

Be ready for continuous learning and remember that networking is essential in this industry.

In order to network with wholesalers and lenders the best way to go about it will be to attend the local REIA like The Greater Houston REIA and also joining the local investors facebook groups. 

Your financial background is a huge asset, and it’s great that you’re starting locally in Milwaukee while keeping an eye on future expansion.If you’re looking to connect with like-minded investors, the Rental Property Association of Wisconsin is a fantastic resource for networking with rental portfolio owners, accessing legal resources, and finding contractors. https://www.aasew.org/For mentors, funding sources, and flippers, the Milwaukee REIA is another great group to explore. https://www.milwaukeereia.com/I’m a member of both and find unique value in each—maybe we’ll cross paths at a future meeting!

Start with a contractor that has a lot of 5 star reviews.You can join some facebook groups and network with investors in your area.
