New To Real Estate in Harford County Maryland

Hello BP,

I am excited to be a part of this network of incredible people. 

I am looking for advice. I think I would feel more comfortable partnering on a deal with someone. Although I have little cash on hand (most tied up in my business), I do have a lot of experience in rehab/remodeling. I would be interested to get people's opinion on this idea.

I currently own a flooring company and I was wondering if my experience as a contractor could be used on a partnership. As I said before I am eager to get started but nervous to go it alone. Would it be possible to network with experienced investors and offer my skills/trade as a way to get my foot in the door. I do have access to some funds but would it be feasible to offer "sweat equity" and possibly offer my flooring services at cost / free (flooring as my investment)?

I know its all about being creative so I am trying to use what I have to get started sooner

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance
