Need a Mentor

[Suzanne HAINER]

Hello! My sister and I live in Raleigh NC and have recently quit our jobs to pursue a business in house flipping.  We  attended the Fortune Builders seminar last February and have been doing self education about the business since then and at this point it would really be great if there was someone out there who would be willing to give us advice and guidance as we begin to look to purchase our first property.  We have looked into going to tax auctions and maybe buying directly from the owner before the actual auction and then either flipping the property ourselves or sell it to another flipper.  I have been reading blogs on this site for awhile but to have an individual we could directly learn from, or if there is someone that actually lives in this area and would be willing to help guide us through our first transaction that would be great!  Specifically, we need help choosing a contractor who is experienced in working this type of business and perhaps a real estate agent who has expertise in foreclosures.  Any concrete advice or help would be so greatly appreciated and We thank you so much in advance!

I am hoping that the Fortune Builders event you attended was the free event.  

You are on the right track.  I dont know if quitting your jobs was the best idea as you will need capital to truly make it in the wholesaling / flipping world.

I would suggest checking to see if there ae any real estate educational clubs in the area and get to one as you can network with others in your area who are making it happen. 

It is hard for people to recommend a contractor as most like my company have one or two that work mainly for our own company.  There are others out there but you will have to get references. 

Good luck
