i ready to get started but what is the best way to learn rei. i have some investors in my area that want me to bird dog for them. sould i have 800 number if i do this. whats the best 800 # company. i would like also learn about rehabs but this is not a good way for a newbie
Just starting out, I don’t think you should spend the money on an 800 number. Spend money on your advertising first. Yes, rehabbing is a more risky way to get started.
thanks.
Okay, not to get into a long reply. But do this:
Find the AREA of Real Estate you want to specialize in. That is, what area of Real Estate will you specialize in as far as becoming a professional in and knowing where and how to locate great deals.
Once you have that, do some study in that particular area, and become an expert within it. This not only allows you to birddog more effectively, but soon allows you to have the best of both worlds. Now you can soon become a investor, you already know how to locate deals, now you just build your A Team, get your money source, and allow your professionalism to shine through and change the lives of your buyers and sellers, as well as the lives of yourself and your family.
Hello everyone…new here and this was the first posting I read. My question to Jtucker is…what is the best way to learn these birddog skills?? In your opinion of course. Im just trying to get started in the real estate world and im green but I think I could be successfull at it. I just see so many programs out there that you can buy to learn and I see the scams that go on and it makes me a bit nervous wondering if I will get the wrong info. I’m actually in the middle of discussing a business opp to a really close friend who has the money to maybe start flipping but im kinda green on how to birddog the properties. I watch “flip that house” every week and being somewhat street smart and having good common sense I know some tips but I really want to learn to be a good birddog. Some good advice from you or anyone on here would be much appreciated. thanks!!
