Anyone willing to let me tagalong?

Here's a crazy thought ..not sure if this has much merit, but I'm just rolling with this sudden thought that is cascading through my mind ..

I'm a newbie, haven't done my first deal yet, but I feel like I am fairly well underway with the "pre-deal" education. That means, I know a lot of things "in theory" but nothing in practice.

You guys/gals that rehab and flip/rent for a living, (or at least a lot) ..would you be willing to entertain a newbie for 2 or 3 days to observe and learn?

I'm not sure if this would be effective, given the time frame of the whole process.

So, the questions are:

1) Is there anything to be learned through this?
2) Given a 2 or 3 day window (weekend, or weekdays) what part of the process do you think a noob might learn the most from observing first hand? (rehab estimation, etc.?)
3) Would you be willing to do this out of the kindness of your heart, or some compensation necessary?

Thanks,
Bryan

Bryan, not sure where you are, we have folks in Austin, Houston and Dallas and they also have REI meetings. I suggest you go to a meeting and offer to assist them, put out signs, flyers, carry paint, whatever in exchange for a little car time. If you're scraping paint off a window for them they will probably answer questions while you work! :)
