local mentor/partner
I am new to the game of REI. I was blessed to get some great education from a friend who flew to PHX for a week and spent time teaching me. Now I am looking for a local mentor who I can help make money while learning the ropes myself. MY wife and I are also wanting to add flipping to our dealings besides wholesaling and possibly buying and holding. Looking for advice or local East Valley investors who might give direction or even be a possible partner/mentor. We have owned and operated small businesses and we planted a church in Seattle Washington so we know how to work. Love the feedback!
