I’m going to go against the grain and say you should learn how to find an off market deal.The method will depend on budget and preference, but once you realize if you buy good enough deals you don’t need down payments that’s a game changer.  

@Ricardo Gomez - Welcome to BP and congrats for deciding to get into the real estate game. 

The game is to get you to pay for some type of fictional service to initiate the loan process.

They started recommending board games and all of this other weird stuff.

Just the name of the game.

If you're not immersed in this game you won't find any deals.

Been in the game for awhile but am expanding and looking for some more people to collaborate with. 

@Bharath Mun - I am going to repost one of my comments from a few months ago about Decatur as an FYI for you.Original post:"I have lived in north Alabama for over a decade - in all the years I've lived here, the only reason I've gone to Decatur was for the kids soccer games at the Jack Allen Soccer Complex (which is quite nice).

I am very new to the game and i'm more than open to receiving advice from anybody who's experienced in flipping, finding deals, or a real estate agent like myself!

@Stephen Chatto  if this is in a small town no chance that he is going to play that game well.
