i'm not an agent but the agent I work with adds plenty of value to my team.  

You can get into the business with low funds but it may be better to bird dog or try to assist an experienced investor to learn the business. 

I am putting together some systems and teams to bring a few furnished rentals online, but out-of-state.

Anyone experienced in getting their deals through auctions that could give me some good advice/tips ?

My team and I are new to investing..we know someone who lives in Baltimore that suggests we take a look at Maryland to invest in an apartment building, but they're not into real estate so it was merely a suggestion. 

I need to put a team together, starting from scratch, so I'd love to hear if anyone has some good referrals, starting with a realtor.

One of the difficulties that I experienced is finding decent places with a secondary suite in my price range (under $350,000).  

Hello Everyone, I've been prospecting/calling/bothering people in the Cobb/DeKalb/Fulton areas around Atlanta and I need an EXPERIENCED agent to refer listing leads to. 

You might want to consider a Joint Venture with an experienced note investor, as they can show you the ropes, and you get a note that you split profits on, vs paying for expensive training. 

Wanting to learn and gain insight from experienced members that are local and of course bring possible business to them.
