You can try interning with agents and bird dogging deals but I think your current and future network will have a lot of respect for a role model in budgeting and it would increase trust in a young ambitious soon to be investor.Look into local groups and seminars, grow your network and be enthusiastic about other people’s work.

The other approach, one which is often put out there by so-called gurus, is to write many offers and sooner or later one will stick (the machine gun approach).  

If it were me I'd stick to my guns or walk, never play their game, always another house.Prop2 is pretty common.

I host networking events and meet people but can't seem to jump the gun to get that first deal off the ground.

There have been some hiccups which I don't think are necessarily transition issues but rather workflow/workload issues so I'm hesitant at this point to give an enthusiastic recommendation. 

I've only use conventional loans in the past so I'm a little gun shy.

I am a home theater/projection enthusiast and I would also like to entertain the idea of implementing front or rear projection on 7-10' wide screens (can be done surprisingly cheap) to display sports and such.

A little gun shy now, but working the numbers on a nearby four plex to get back on that horse!

Or am I jumping the gun too fast?

For example, if you have the capital and the know-how (yourself or hired guns), re-zoning can lead to huge profits, but you have to know what you are getting into, as Mike Marshall, one of Seth's recent podcast guests, explained.
