Twenty for twenty -- 20 calls. 20 minutes each

[Larry Turowski]

I want to have a 20 minute phone conversation with you--with 20 of you.

I want to offer what advice and direction I can as someone who has bought and sold 36 properties, who owns 36 rental units, whose made mistakes and whose made a lot of money.  I hate saying that last part because life is not about money, but as George Bailey says to Clarence the angel in the movie It's a Wonderful Life, "It comes in mighty handy down here."  And my point is that you'll be talking with someone who is successful as a real estate investor.

I'm a small player.  Not too far ahead of you, really.  And sometimes that is what you need.  Not someone who is so far ahead of you that they have forgotten how impossible it feel to find that elusive, almost imaginary first deal, someone.

I'll tell you a little bit about myself and my story, ask you about yourself and what you are doing, and you can pepper me with questions.  I won't have all the answers, but I'll have some.  And believe me, I'll learn something from you, too!

I have nothing to sell.  Just a little mentoring to give.

So here is how it will work.  If there is interest, I'll set up a call schedule on the appoint.ly (or calendly.com, I haven't decided yet) and it will be first come first serve.  I'll post a link on this thread Thursday morning and you can select a time that works for you.

Hey, and maybe you are on the next rung ahead of me and can offer me some mentoring.  That would be great too!

Here is what I can offer mentoring on:

- Sourcing deals

- Negotiating

- Wholesaling (a little bit, I'm not a wholesaler)

- Flips

- Rentals (single families and 2-4 multis)

- Pre-foreclosures

- Rent-to-own

- Cash, financed, subject-to, owner financing deals

- Hard money, private lending, banks, cash

- Self managing

- Dealing with contractors

- Networking and education

- Getting your spouse on board

- Dealing with failure and frustration

- Moral dilemmas?

I've found networking and conversation with other investors, big and small, has been invaluable.  Here's your chance to go a little beyond posting messages.
