Found a partner/angel investor now what?

[Robert Duncan]

So I'm really pushing in on the door to financial independence. I recently just broke out of my comfort zone and started talking to friends, family and associates about investing in real estate or flipping properties with me . I definitely got a bunch of no's and some people just changed the subject on me. To my surprise I got a yes from a previous employer. He said he is interested in flipping and is open to go into a partnership with me as long as its a profitable deal. I have no idea of what to do now. Should I look for a property now? I already have a criteria and I know my area pretty well but I'm stuck and don't want to miss my opportunity.
