Engage an investor-focused realtor/broker in your preferred market (this is not a residential realtor) and start 'tire kicking' the market and properties that fit your criteria.

Instead of being discouraged by a property that doesn’t quite meet your needs, why not see it as a chance to personalize and add value right from the start?

Over the course of using Bigger Pockets I have had very degrees of opinions on who I should vote for concerning a post.When I first started using Bigger Pockets, I was too naïve to even think of voting for someone that took the time to answer one of my post.

BiggerPockets is full of resources designed to help you along your journey, whether you are just getting started or a seasoned investor.
