Hi there,Welcome to BP, this is a great website and resource for all types of real estate investing.I suggest you do a lot of research here, do not spend a lot of money with coaches, it would be much better to put that money to work and learn from experience.Additionally, there are many real estate clubs out there, visit them, select your favorites and meet other investors working your area.

Visit your local real estate investment association (REIA), find someone doing what you want to do, and offer to shadow them for a month or two.

do you actually visit them and try to  make an offer?
