Partnering up

[Tanya Lam]

Hi! I am very new to real estate investing but I want to jump into already. I'd love to meet up with anyone in Dallas to start a fix and flip! I have some capital, I just want to learn how to find deals and the whole process. I will work for free 😂

@Jay Hinrichs just gave you some very valuable advice about dealing with folks you find on BP.  I'm going to take it a step farther and suggest you not, particularly as a newbie, deal with anyone who approaches you.  Instead, get educated and active in the forums.  There are plenty of uber active folks from the DFW area.  Read their posts.  Follow their activity.  Find a couple of folks that you like what they are doing and saying.  Strike up a conversation with them and build a relationship.  See if there is a fit.  Then open the door to discussing a partnership.  You are in a much better position than a lot of the folks who jump on and start asking to partner up or be mentored in return for....oh yeah...nothing.  They are bringing nothing of value to the table.  You have capital.  That shows you are serious and would not be wasting someone's time.  Just take it slow.  This is different than the analysis paralysis that is warned against.  This is like getting married.  You need to date the person first, just to make sure they are who they say they are and you're compatible.
