Maybe you can join a local chamber of commerce or perhaps it's as easy as just talking to a co-worker or relative who knows someone with a history of real estate investment.You'll need to research the right home and do the legwork when it comes to sprucing it up, but if you do the work your investor(s) will hopefully supply the money.

I currently work at Audi Seattle selling and leasing the nicest luxury vehicles on the road today :-) My first real estate goal would be to purchase a multi family residence, live in it, rehab it, and use the cash flow to pay down the debt.My long-term real estate goal would be to build a portfolio that would allow me to retire from going to a 9-to-5 job.I came to join bigger pockets to connect with a community of like-minded people and to help contribute to the community where I can.Thanks for reading!
