Anyone looking for a motivated mentee?

Question

Separating from the military after 13 years. A long time dreamer of flipping houses, and want to make that dream come true. Would love to find someone for some guidance along the way!

Hey Rob - Welcome to BP and the investor space!  I am a bit south of you, but if you want to take a "day trip" down and meet up, I would be happy to chat.  I am an active agent, but also active flipper, investor, wholesaler, etc., etc.  I can walk you through several projects currently in progress at different stages and answer questions, etc.  I am happy to have you come and "get your hands dirty", but it may be too much of a drive for frequency and you can likely find someone closer to you.  I am the VP of the largest non-profit REIA in the USA currently.  I can likely help you in one way or another.  Feel free to reach out.

Rob,

I'm in the Army Reserve, and will hit 38 years next month. I have about 8.5 years active duty from deployments. If all goes well I will do four more years and retire with 42 years. My Step dad served in the Navy as well.

Hey @Rob Titus

I would look into the Jax Real Estate Investor Association, amongst other meetups. Getting into more events is the best way to build a local network and gain a lot of knowledge for low costs.

Rob,

You have been given solid advice. I would definitely take up Chad on his offer and go visit him and his projects. I would also highly encourage you to become active in your local real estate clubs if you are not already. It is a great place to connect with other investors. Just make sure you are talking with an actual investor when you take advice not someone that is "planning on" investing.

Read as much as you can about real estate investing to improve your knowledge. Keep an eye on what is for sale in your market, what is selling, and for how much. Also track rental demand and cost.

On a side note what branch did you serve in?

Jacksonville has some meetups. Go to meetups as often as you like and just build some relationships. Once you have some of those, start figuring out where your skillset could help a flipper. This can be just pure hustle, gopher work, actually labor, etc. Jax is a good market for investors, you shouldn't have trouble if you get out to meetups as often as you can.

Rob,

I am just in the Daytona area, so not too far.
