So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

Many inexperienced investors pass on the deal you listed for the reasons you listed. 

Maybe come out to one our meetings at CFRI to get plugged in the investor community too. 

If you want some input on what to do after identifying your market, feel free to reach out – I’ve been coaching new investors for a while and am happy to help you however I can.

Major in business (with a real estate focus), start learning through books, podcasts, and investor meetups, and work on building credit and saving money while in school.

I mentor a few investors especially just starting.  

More than four dozen investors pitched in, including some of the largest financial institutions and liquidity providers in the world, as well as prominent business leaders.

I have been a Real Estate investor for about 35 years and have never experienced such incompetence.

Find someone you know, like, and trust, then partner with them on a deal.This doesn't have to be an existing investor.

They all say they will be on the lookout for me, and they are experienced realtors.I did however get one from here, bigger pockets, and this realtor hasn't worked with investors before, butis asking me to sign a contract so I am working with them exclusively.The reason I am asking what to do, is because this realtor with the contract is very new, but I heard that most realtors will ask you to sign one if theyre serious.
