I do not believe it matters if you start with mortgage broker or RE agent.  

A great way to start is by attending RE events and joining a local investors association.

Hey @Andre Bertoncin,Congrats on taking the first step towards RE investing! 

I'm willing to re-think imcluding consoles, but would love some tips.Also, for an arcade what setup do people recommed for modding say with a Raspberry Pi for tons of games?

Hi Chris from the U.P. of Michigan.Congratulations on deciding to get into real estate investing with your first Buy, Rehab, Rent, Re-finance, and Repeat or BRRRR and you are wondering where to start and who you should add to your team first.It is good you have cash or cash equivalents to buy the property and complete the repairs.As far as who to have on your team first, I would say an investor friendly Realtor who can help you find deals and introduce you to the rest of the team like a good property inspector to hopefully let you know about potentially expensive repairs early before buying the property so you can buy it well or not buy it at all.

I mean look at Brandon Turner he is now moved to the Training model.. its a very natural progression for those that have huge SM following and in Brandons case very real public perception of a RE Expert.

At the last show I attended, our booth was directly across from a RE broker of RV Parks.

When I was a kid my dad hauled me around with him for years doing his RE sales calls and meetings with his RE attorney.

I'm looking at other parts of my portfolio besides RE and I will attend local meet ups to address my specific situation. 

Reward in RE prices for risk of course.As for horizontal I get mine from local community banks ..
