Need advice on taking this acquisitions position...please advise me on what you would do

[Dominic Jones]

I started researching RE seriously February of 2015, reading a lot here on BP, reading real estate books and listening to the BP Podcasts. I started taking action, going to the local REIAs and meeting people who are actually doing deals and working their businesses in my area. Driving for dollars, going to the court to find houses that foreclosure was being filed against, etc.

At the closest REIA, I met a young 27 year old guy (I'm turning 25 this month) who I met shortly after to talk about how we could help each other. That meeting was probably back in April/May.

Fast forward to the past two weeks of August and him and his younger brother are contacting me about an Acquisitions position in their company where there is room for rapid advancement. 

They had an 8 page application that seemed a little shady to me because it felt like they are trying to seek out inside information about the companies I worked for, like how many employees work there and what's that companies value proposition, who are their competitors, what's their competitors value proposition, etc. 

Beyond that... they've cancelled on me twice, both times because they had to meet with a buyer or a client to get their wholesale deal started or done. First they had to change the time on the phone interview (first interview of three they say). Second, they had to re-schedule the in-person interview that was supposed to be this morning, to another time because they had to meet with a buyer.

They plan on being the biggest wholesaler in my area and I love the ambition, but I just have a weird feeling about it... At first they mentioned that they wanted me to read 2 books as part of their "curriculum" to get me started with their system, but then when we had the phone interview it all of a sudden turned to 4 books and I have to learn their "neurological" speech system before I talked to any clients. Is it just me or does this sound a little odd?

I haven't any other way into real estate at the time and these guys are in my age group so I feel like working with them would be fun, and I feel like I could quickly start managing the area as they branch out into new markets which they discussed with me they plan on doing... however; they mentioned to me that they would like for me to work full time for them and that the pay would start only after I finished the first month of "training" or going through their "curriculum."

They've changed up the curriculum, they cancelled on me a second time, and I just feel like at this point I'm willing to ride out everything and see what happens because I really want to get started with a team, that has a system in place, is obviously doing deals and I want to learn. I currently hate my IT job and have yet to have any success finding employment in real estate elsewhere...so what do you guys think? Should I follow along and see what lies at the end of the tunnel? Or should I bail out? What's your first impressions of them from the actions I've stated in this post? Am I freaking out and being too hard on their processes since they are young guys and trying to get this thing off the ground?

Thanks for taking the time to read this and all responses are much appreciated.
