I'd suggest networking patiently until you meet some folks you want to take the next step with.  

For patient investors who do some digging, there are still a lot of deals happening all across the country in markets that are supposedly dead and buried thanks to the funds.And Greg, good luck to you with your investing!

For your first deal, be patient and make sure it's the right one.

So be patient.

Once I find a rehabber or two who can patiently deal with a distressed seller effectively and not like he deals with his contractors, then I'll believe that wholesaling will become extinct.

There is always a way to save money, but it is important to remain patient and conduct a lot of research so you know exactly what you can and cannot afford.Increasing home valueWhether or not you are planning on selling your home, you should always upgrade with the intentions of increasing the home’s value.

You might consider starting smaller as well.My wife and I fully intend to invest in multifamilies, from duplex's to apts.We are doing it primarily by house hacking our first one, and buying a duplex.You have plenty to get started in the direction you want to go.If that's just not the way you want then I would follow @Brian Gibbons advice and study up.Above all be patient, and when the right deal hits, don't be afraid to move on it
