Starting looking for opportunities last Fall and so far it's been terrible.

Cold calling is a great idea to get started, but maybe try connecting with local real estate groups or online forums too—they can sometimes have off-market deals.

One thing I wish I knew starting out was the true overhead of running a RE business it can be pricey if you don't run your numbers right.

Consider starting small by house hacking a single-family home, renting out rooms, or adding an ADU if possible.

- Network with local agents and investors, so you start getting first crack at new deals.If you can amp up the cashflow on the first duplex, you can use the extra cash to:- Pay down the mortgage, setting yourself up for a future refinance to free up your VA Entitlement.OR- For your next acquisition.One of your biggest challenges will to keep the cash flowing when you move out of a duplex.

Also, if you are a minority, WRA has the Partnership for Success program, which helps pay for your start up costs.

Just start with taking the content in and then team up with someone actively doing these deals.

Cosmo - I personally don't know Phoenix well, but if I had to do this in another city I would look at income levels, crime levels, and population growth (if you can) by zip code and/or area within a DMA as a starting point.
