Edgar1: put a business card together...nothing fancy just have phone # and email address. 2:hop on MeetUp and attend as many meetings as possible 3: network, network, network.  

@Gene Quiocho Networking at local meet ups is a good start!

Don't have much of a buyers list yet.Just started doing marketing in my area (bandit signs, Internet adds).I'm scheduled to attend my first REIA meeting in a couple of days (very excited about that).

I'm putting together an email that I'm going to send to some Realtors that I know personally and see if they are game...I thought I read a blog on here once where the writer had an email that they used to send to realtors w/ a link but I recall the link being dead...anybody know the article I'm talking about...

Not necessarily as good as it sounds due to having to meet the standard deduction, which is around $12k or $13k for families, I believe, before any real savings kick in.

In Houston it's a cash game.  

Maybe they are too new to the game.  

Here are some good places to start: http://www.biggerpockets.com/meet- find and connect with other BP members that are in your area.http://www.biggerpockets.com/alerts - Set up keyword alerts to be notified of the topics that interest you.And, of course thehttp://www.biggerpockets.com/forums - ask any question about real estate!

Welcome to BP, Carlos.One way to get your buyers list is to attend your local REI meet, and develop contacts there.
