Newbie frustrations in REI

[Paul Magda]

I am new to the REI world, but not new to entrepreneurship, and have recently come across a few leads that have been promising BUT my frustrations come from not knowing what/how to proceed in the process of getting the deal resulting in the seller likely believing i'm out to "scam" them.

I am not confident because I do not have the experience/knowledge but i'm out there contacting owners and meeting them etc... 

Any investors in the Sacramento area looking for an apprentice or anyone that is willing to let me "shadow" them? I am very eager to learn and build my network/business relationships. Any guidance in this area would be greatly appreciated and I will not forget about you. 

P.S. I have been attending almost every local "meetup, seminar or networking" event that I can physically get myself to. 

Thanks again.
