Finding a mentor, how is this proposal?

[Susie Ivanov]

PROPOSAL: If I bring a good deal and I put up the capital would he rehab the property with me for a 50/50 split of the profits.

I am looking for a mentor. And I found a person who has been very successful at doing what I am working towards. Now, he is slowing down and no longer in the buy/hold area as he has good cash flowing units and is now just flipping to “keep us guys working” and is even profit sharing with them. Any thoughts? This person gave a talk in my city about real estate investing so he doesn’t really know me from Adam.
