Call Real Estate Agents, Attorneys and Title companies. Tell them that you are getting started in Real Estate Investing and trying to find someone who has been around the block a few times. Tell them that you are looking for someone who has done a few deals or is otherwise active in the local Real Estate community.
Once you get a name, call this person and ask if they wouldn’t mind taking a few minutes to talk with you over lunch. You will, of course, be paying for their lunch.
You will want to do at least 90% of the listening during this lunch. The 10% talking that you do do, should be to thank them and ask pertinent questions like:
“How did you get started in Real Estate?”
“What would you recommend that I do to get started?”
“What do you find are your most successful investing strategies?”
You also need to be very respectful of their time.
This small effort on your part can open up a doors that you don’t even know exist. These people are also be likely to be well read in Real Estate investing, have a good library of investing information, and a network of knowledgeable friends and associates that you may be able to tap into.
