Beginning blind RE Agent/Investor Discouraged
I am now turning to BP, you all, as my last resort though I'm not entirely sure how that will turn out.
After spending many years reading, learning, I'm taking action, my RE license will be valid soon, and I will begin my investing endeavors as I've planned...but there is one problem.
Every investor I've talked to, whom I've tried to set up win-win mentorship deals, "I give you half my profit if you show me what to do." kind of thing. To no avail. They all either want $500 an hour for advice, or want me to give them my entire savings, or want the profit 100% since they are the one showing me what to do. The overall impression I get so far from the industry is an atrocious amount of greed and unethical business practice. I'm extremely discouraged and I am afraid and quitting before I get started.
I am turning to Bigger Pockets for support on my route and starting my investing and business endeavors.
Quick facts that will help you give better responses:
- I am 24 and married. Wife will be doing this with me as I am legally blind and do not drive. She will be driving. I have no peripheral vision. My central vision is fine, I can still see properties, paperwork, movies, etc.
- My home and cars are owned, not financed.
- My credit score is 830
- I have no debt.
- I have some savings but prefer not to use it till I can close on a deal to make sure this really will work in my market.
Thanks for any and all your help
