Looking for partner/mentor to get started

[John Dombrowski]

So i have been reading so much here and listening to so many podcasts and I really want to get started to flip some properties and eventually maybe get some rental properties once I get a good chunk of cash saved up but don't really know where to start. Looking for someone maybe to partner with for a while while mentoring me along the way until I can get out on my own.

I work full time here in San Diego as an IT Engineer but there are massive layoffs going on and I expect to get hit sometime along the way. I have 18 years at my company so I will be getting a huge severance package of almost a years pay so I will use this and invest into some properties. Right now though I have access to around 25K of credit to try and start with.

I know that's not much to start with in the Cali market so I am not opposed to looking outside the state. I would like to grab something in the Crown Point Indiana area being that is the area I grew up in.

I wouldn't mind using a HML to give me a start but not sure how easy that would be since I am just starting out and have no credibility as of yet.

Anyway, just putting this out there to see if anyone would want to partner up and mentor me along the way.
