Hi all, I'm based in the Los Angeles & Orange County, CA area and am interested in flipping homes.

I have one quasi-BRRRR deal under my belt.

About me:

-Former Fortune 50 Commercial Real Estate Banker, specializing in distressed assets (restructuring/modifying notes, pursuing guarantors, foreclosing on assets)

-Varying degree of experience in legal remedies (mediation, arbitration, bankruptcy etc.) with inside/outside counsel

-$500,000,000+ RE transaction experience from west coast thru the mid-west

-USC Business School Alum w/concentration in Real Estate Finance & Development

-Licensed REALTOR in CA

-Hands-on experience rehabbing real estate (full kitchen rehab, flooring, painting, spraying texture, removing load-bearing walls, bathroom rehab - have pictures from BRRRR project)

[QUESTION] What is the proper approach to seeking a local mentor/partner on BP?
