Grunt work

[Account Closed]

I live in Manitoba, Canada, where no or little money down finance strategies and wholesaling are illegal. I currently want to start out in REI, so I have no hands on experience with doing any REI deals, flips, etc. I'm building capital by paycheck every 2 weeks, but it's a slow process. I've also joined a few REIA groups in Winnipeg, and one of the group meetings is November 30th.

I want to work for other REI for the purpose of developing capital, applicable knowledge + experience and relationships with the people involved.

I've read on here that offering to drive for dollars, clean a investor's property for free, or been their personal assistant for free would be of value.  What else could be valuable to an investor in exchange to learn from them?  Or is what's valuable to them specific to the problems they're facing?

Such as one investor needs a painter while another doesn't.  If you have experience been a professional painter, you could paint the interior and exterior of the house for free in exchange to learn from them?
