Should I get a real estate investment advisor for house flipping?

Question

Someone told me you can't trust a real estate investment advisor, because they want to make money and don't care about your interests. I don't know whether this is true or not. And their advice costs money. From your experience, is a real estate investment advisor worth it?

@Galit Garsiel @Chris Seveney I agree completely with at Chris. The real estate investor community has a passion and dedication to real estate. It is also a sharing and welcoming community. All of the information you need to succeed in real estate is available from either open sources, books, or other investors. That is not to say that a local experienced investor who is running an investor school has no value. It just depends on how committed you are to the journey. You can find all you need in open sources or books, if you are willing to spend the time. Some people learn more easily when in a group environment at a dedicated time and place. So, if that is you, get yourself a guru. If you do not need one to absorb the information, than why waste the money? Good luck.

You should be able find very experienced people in your area who you can run deals by or join groups where you can pitch deals.

Also here on BP you can run deals through their calculator and share.

Not sure you need someone as a paid advisor to get started
