Good luck>Have you heard something called depreciation..?

That style of learning and introduction to true industry catches my attention as having someone in the space that understands the space to bounce things off of and learn from seems to be the ideal way.I have through a handful of the webinars and follow up calls with different companies and they all basically pitch similar ideas and strategies.

Look them up online, call and interview several of them.

My goal is to be able to get on a facetime/zoom call with them and go over all my offers on properties. 

Would you be available for a call?

They will match effort for effort jumping on seller calls and helping you close deals, walk you through contracts, make connections to attorneys, etc.  

#McCormickI have some Youtube videos (link in my profile) that will help with some of your questions and I'd be happy to have a call to help walk you through the market and what you should consider when looking here.

I've begun cold calling and looking to alternate methods of finding deals, but if anyone has any advice for overcoming this I'd love to connect.

Sounds like strategy call would make most sense to see what your goals are with REI and being an agent to determine if the organization I represent aligns with the direction you are looking to go.
