I am a remote investor for the land of Oz and have been in the US Real estate business for nearly a year now.

I am a self starter and I would attack my sphere of influence and build clients before I even start under a brokerage.

Work a farm and your sphere of influence.Above all, (with a hat tip to Winston Churchill), never, never give up.

First steps would be to check out the BP blog and podcasts to define your niche.You didn't mention if you intended to invest in Oz or the US?

Must have an LLC, ITIN, etc.Some of my Oz relatives have invested in the U.s.

Odor Xit  (We purchased it in Concentrate.  64 fluid oz. 

Reach out to your sphere, the people who already know and like you, and make sure they know you're now in real estate.

I liked the Self directed Ira so much and had a pretty big sphere of influence that I started my own self directed company.

Those sellers do not want to hear from another agent.The best leads you can generate are from your sphere of influence.

It can take two solid years of prospecting, marketing and hard work to get really established in residential real estate, unless you have a large sphere of influence ready, willing, and able to give you business and referrals.
