Seeking opinion on "RE Investor Seeking Trainee" Sign

Aloha everyone, 

Just looking for first, some opinions on a sign I saw posted in my area recently and second, some good questions to ask if I call this person that would help me better determine their legitimacy/experience. 

About a month ago I decided that I wanted to commit to becoming a real estate investor. Currently I am reading as many books as I can get my hands on to learn as much as I can on the subject. 

This morning while driving around I saw a sign on the side of the road, "RE Investor Seek Trainee. $1,000 - $10,000 2x wk pot." and then their phone number listed. 

I know that finding a professions in my area and offering to work with them is a great way to learn. Looking for an opinion on acting on this advertisement and what some good questions would be to determine legitimacy and experience. 

Mahalo in advance!

Billy

I would reach out just out of curiosity. See what he has to offer and perhaps see if he is credible enough to bring value to your network.

He's taken some initiative clearly if he's putting out signs which means he's doing more than most new investors. Its just a 3 minute conversation that could turn into a relationship and if not then you wasted 3 minutes of your time. Big whoop.

I would ask him how long has he been investing. What type of RE investments does he engage in. If he's licensed and if so under what broker. What is his past experience. Why does he want a trainee over a VA, ISA, Agent, Laborman etc. Does he have another source of income besides real estate? Does he have multiple LLC's?

Hope this helps!
