Looking for a mentor in Jacksonville Fl

[George Hildebrand]

I'm new to real estate, but I have years of experience in rehab. I'm a full time firefighter, so I have time to commit to this. I'm looking for someone to teach me in exchange, I can do some of the work on a flip, or anything else that needs doing. I am learning as much as I can here, but I need someone to mentor me. I know I will make this work, as I'm not going to stop until I do. I have joined the local REIM, and I'm hoping to meet some new people there as well. Thanks in advance to anyone willing to give me chance.

George, I am in Jacksonville and I no longer have the time to fix and flip but I know a great deal about the entire process from many angles.  I have financed deals, I am currently an owner of residential and commercial properties, a Florida licensed real estate agent, a licensed CPA, and a qualified intermediary for 1031 exchanges.  Additionally, immediately after graduating law school I worked with a Jacksonville real estate law firm handling thousands of real estate Closings.  Probably, the most valuable addition though is that I am a native to the area because I have close friends and grew up with people that now own AC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, building contractors, as well as marble and granite businesses and they are invaluable in the fix and flip business.  Further, I also own a majority interest in a construction container company (big cans to throwaway construction debri-rolloff's) that serves the greater Jacksonville area.   So I have many resources but I do not have the time to find the properties but if you can fill that void, I can fill most others as well as share with you my connections and knowledge.  I certainly do not know everything but I do have many things I can pass along to you even if we do not do anything financially together.  I am still happy to be an advisor to you, without charge, as I enjoy helping people with your additude.  That quality is becoming scarce which is unfortunate. Please feel free to call me and let's discuss in more detail.  I hope to hear from you soon.
