Beginner Hungry to Help [For Free]
Hello,
My name is Collin Miller and I am relatively new to real estate investing. At this point, I know the basics and am working to get my feet wet in the act.
I am learning how to spot good deals, so in the spirit of #givefirst, I would like to work with select individuals in finding them [free of charge]. If you are interested, please send me a message or respond to this forum post directly.
I am willing and eager to help, but I will only be selecting 2-3 individuals for this, so please make sure you touch on the following points:
Where do you primarily invest?
How many years of experience do you have in real estate investing?
How many homes do you currently own?
Thank you,
Collin

@Collin Emerson Miller I like your enthusiasm, but I think your plan is a bit off. I’ve no doubt that you’ve gotten good at analyzing deals. As you probably know, deals differ in each market. You’re from Santa Clarita. I wouldn’t trust you with analyzing a Philadelphia deal. Numbers may look good on a spreadsheet, but if you don’t understand the intricacies of a market, you could make a fatal mistake in your analysis. Why don’t you go to a real estate investor association in your area, partner up with an investor, suggest to make cold calls in their preferred areas for them, analyze the deals, and bring it to them. If they invest out of state, you’ll find out what makes a good deal in the market they invest in. If they invest in you’re state, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of your market. Just my 2 cents
