House Flipping Short-Term Mentor

[Jack Faysash]

Hello everyone,

I've been following bigger pockets throughout my college years and recently graduated, landed a job that I've enjoyed, and purchased a personal home with my wife. I'm currently working on saving up capital and would like to make my start in real estate investing by flipping houses. I love bigger pockets but am also a Dave Ramsey type of guy, not into taking out loans aside from a personal mortgage. My goal is to purchase my first investment property in the next 1-2 years, which is when I predict I'll have the cash to do so.

Anyways, I'm looking for someone that has experience in house flipping that would like to engage in a few mentoring sessions. I'd love to learn about your experience, success/failures, and help me set a plan. I'm not looking to get into any official paid coaching program, but would love to purchase a meal for anyone who'd be willing to meet up!

Jack,

Good for you. Sounds like you are on the right track. I, too, am not a fan of using other people's money, unless I absolutely have to. I started my first project, years ago, with $35k of my own money and have not looked back. I am fairly certain I only ever used "hard money" for three total projects and I am above 20 projects now. During my flipping time, I have brought in a few people to mentor, but I think San Antonio would be just a bit far for either of us to travel to the other. I would imagine you will find someone in the local area. If you don't get any good prospects from this forum, try looking around at your local REIA. I usually connect with newer people in mine all the time. Cheers!
