For networking opportunities, TBREIA is where it started for us and where we gained the confidence to do our first deal.

Especially right now with all the beach rental investment opportunities in towns like Seaside NJ. 

In addition to ample windshield time learning the city, I had a lot of local folks help me see the opportunity in Augusta.

Set up an online resource (redfin) that alerts you whenever a property meeting your criteria is listed.3.

As a licensed agent, I understand the importance of building relationships and I believe that this forum can be a great place to do just that.Please note that this post is not intended to be self-promotional, but rather an opportunity for me to introduce myself and get to know the members of this community.

I found an opportunity where the seller would consider carrying the loan at 5% for 5 years. 

The initial goal was to find these properties for flippers or builders and then build up my future pipeline of "listing back" opportunities.

And consider attending local meetups to network with other real estate investors, gain sights from their experiences, and potentially find mentorship opportunities.

Often times those competitive markets can be really hard to get a good return, I would start to look in the sub-markets/those that are less popular to find an opportunity.
