Hungry new investor in Miami, FL
I am Joseph Grullon and I am partnering with my brother who is a full time real estate agent in Doral, and we are looking to buy and flip properties. I used to be a licensed real estate agent in 2010, but then I moved away for a law enforcement position in the federal government. I now live in Miami and have the same job but would love to build a business in real estate investing. I have been reading every article, blog and forum post that I can get my hands on in Biggerpockets.com. I have gained a lot of knowledge and only want to learn more. I am excited to meet other members on here and network. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

@Michael Lemieux Thanks Michael, but what I was referring to is that I have yet to come across anyone in person, not via online, that is willing to be a "mentor". If you do then they probably want you to pay them for help. I've already spent a bunch of money on education and "help" with the Fortune Builders system from Than Merrill and those guys, but nothing beats hands on 1-on-1 involvement in my personal opinion.
It just sucks when everybody wants you to pay for it up front. Not real "help" if you ask me.
