I can to share my experience with a solution that has been a game-changer for us.

It's a numbers game for certain so the more you see the quicker you'll be able to identify a good deal.

Issue two is that because it is essentially a game of telephone, there are delays and many misunderstandings. 

The property owner always loses while the arbiter has no skin in the game at all, just skimming profits off of the owner and can walk away any time they want without reprocussions. 

With that being said I have found an opportunity to get back in the game. 

Paying to get in the right rooms can be game changing, but as you acknowledged you have to take it on yourself to make it worth your while.As for your question, it was pretty confusing.

For this one, I'd say a fix/flip is definitely the "easier" way of getting into the game vs. new build but it still has its pros/cons.

I’ve been in the real estate investing game for over 20 years, primarily focusing on the Tampa Bay area.

In the mean time just hear to learn as much as I can and really layout game plan for my first property.

I understand this is all a numbers game as far as leads go, so for now I'm just gonna stay the course.
