It’s about building relationships, listening, and providing real value.

I actually haven't considered development as a real estate path yet.

Quote from @Sheraz Zia: Hi everyone,I’m managing the digital marketing for a real estate business, and I’m exploring PPC ads to generate leads more effectively.

Do you guys have any advice on how can I get started in my real estate journey as an agent and potentially an investor??

To be considered an investor (and possibly get long-term capital gains rates), you’d need to hold the property for over a year as a rental or investment, not actively flip it.Check out the IRS guide on rental real estate and capital gains for more details: IRS Rental Property Tax Guide.You might want to talk to a CPA who specializes in real estate to see if there are any strategies that work for your situation.Good luck on your flip!

You don't know, what you don't know.Bigger Pockets is a great place to find a tax accountant specializing in real estate taxation.

Otherwise, I’d save my cash for the next acquisition.I’d also be posting on every social media platform and telling everyone I knew that I was looking for more real estate deals.

Start building relationships at real estate meetups, REIAs, and even through property managers who may know of landlords looking to offload properties.Do not overlook the power of your personal network.

As you progress your bookkeeping business, you'll likely want to learn how to export statements from a variety of property management platforms, as investor books are housed in bank accounts, spreadsheets, and a variety of property management and accounting software!

I am a new real estate investor and I'm trying to determine the best way to finance my first property.
