Houston area flippers

[Jared Anderson]

Hello, let me start out by saying I truly admire what house flippers do. It is what I want to do someday. I say "someday" because right now I'm looking to build a relationship with someone in the Houston area. I will be joining a REI club soon to meet people.

I know that it is rude to ask to learn from someone without offering something in return. I want to learn what is certain investors are looking for so I can go out and hone my skills by helping them find deals. Other than this route, if you are new to REI what is a good way of providing value to an experienced investor?

Quote from @Mitch Messer:

Hey @Jared Anderson, here's the best way I know to impress an experienced investor...

... bring them an actual, well-analyzed, profitable deal and then request to joint-venture with them to take it down!

You would definitely stand out from the pack. 

For the record, please do not ask to pick their brain, or to refer you to all their best contractors, or to be your mentor!

Yea if roles were reversed and I had someone asking need those things, that would get on my nerves so I'm not about to do that.  Thanks for the reply.
