Partnering up with other people is a great way to get your feet wet if you don't want to go at it alone.

I found the dishwasher was leaking, so I pulled the dishwasher out, pulled the part off, showed them the part number and even sent them a link to the part ($30).A few weeks goes by and again they called and said the floor was still wet and that they fixed the dishwasher! 

Being a new realtor you can take it on part time at first to learn and get feet wet while keeping your current job for lending.  

Hello Bigger Pockets Community,I am just getting my feet wet in real estate, and having read multiple "beginner" books, I find myself asking the same questions over and over: Where do I find deals to analyze?

Thankfully, I had this past year to get my feet wet doing the remote landlord thing from across the country - now I get to figure it out from the other side of the world 😅 Totally appreciate all the info sharing and support!!

I've fixed pretty much everything unless it was over my skill set (replacing capacitor on A/C system, for instance; landlord told me when I moved in it was okay to repaint or whatever as long as it improved the house), my neighbors love me - they've told him so; I've resodded the yard twice (FL grass sucks with a dog), had the landscape crew redo the trees in front so they look good, replanted flower beds (perennials), power washed the house every year after wet season ended, ensured the pest control worked...The BUT part ...As a sole practioning consultant (pre-IPO weakness remediation, large financial systems implementations, global audit recommendations for SEC registrants, etc.) at times during the last 3 years things have been sink or sink lower credit wise and the ID theft didn't help (apparently, I bought a car in GA and own some property in TX).

It was my first purchase so definitely learning quite a few things along the way but had to get my feet wet somehow.

Living in Boston, eager to get my feet wet in R.I.

Do I get my feet wet into wholesaling? 

I knew there was a potential great upside, but I just wanted to get my feet wet and get experience.
