In need of a Northern Virginia, DC mentor!
Hey Everyone, Tommy here
Newbie to BP community, I've listened to majority of the podcasts, however today I decided I needed to take my commitment more seriously.
I'm interested in locating a mentor that can educate me on flipping homes to eventually buying and holding to secure my long term wealth.
I am fairly broke because up until now I've invested my money in a software/app developing project, therefor low to no money investments may suit me best.
Hoping somebody out there is willing and able to help!
Thanks
Tommy

@Tommy McCoy welcome to BP. I would suggest being active with some local REI groups. Two I suggest are Capital REI Group, and DMV deal makers. Both have regular meetings, but you can be a fly on the wall in the FB groups and pick up a lot of great info.
I posted a blog post recently on what my advice would be to new members. Feel free to read it, the link is below:

Hope that helps you out. Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions :)
