Access to Investors - Now what?

[Juan A.]

Hello, all.

I recently developed a new relationship that has connections to Investors with deep pockets that are looking for ways to invest, in anything.

Without going into too many details, these are professional athletes looking to invest without being involved. Silent Investors, if you will.

I've recently been reading a lot about wholesaling and was almost ready to jump in, head first. This has thrown a curve ball my way though, because I'm not quite sure what we can do. 

I'm thinking about going the wholesale route but rather than assigning the contract, actually keeping the property and rehabbing it. 

What would you guys do if you ran into a situation where you had access to lots and lots of capital but had never done any kind of real estate deals?

Thanks in advance!

P.s.

I would be open to discussing partnerships if someone has any ideas.
