Bird Dog ready to do 1st short sale

I’m new here and have enjoyed the forums.

i have been bird dogging short sales for investors and i’m ready to do my own short sales.

I just need help getting the 1st one rolling.

my questions is: what would you recommend ?

that’s kind of a broad question. and what is your purpose for buying “short sales”?

what are you going to do with them?

your right.

my mistake. i would like to flip or wholesale these short sales until i can generate enough reserves to purchase a few and then turn them into rentals or do lease options.

i have no real estate investing experience (other then my own home) but i do know the mechanics of the short sale.

I guess i am looking for direction to get more educated (courses, books, forums)

for a first time investor…what would you suggest in regards to short sales?
purchase software with all forms?
book suggestions?
courses?

i learn the fastest and the best by doing.

thanks in advance
