What can I offer as a newbie to a Wholesaler?

[Michael Tucker]

Good Day to you BP family,

I recently attended one of those real estate guru seminars hoping to learn some information, and I learned some. Unfortunately, in order to get the details I needed to pay $500 to $1500 to learn more and receive mentoring. 

So I stopped there...but I did meet some wholesalers/investors who "graduated" from program and got their contact information. 

In my brief conversations with the investors I mentioned that I didn't have the cash to invest in the guru program, but I wanted to learn and  that I am willing to do legwork (analysis, post signs, drive for dollars etc.) to learn from them. 

I haven't contacted them since met them Saturday because of the holiday but plan to touch base tomorrow. 

My question to you all is: what should the investors expect from me and how can I best help them to make it a profitable/beneficial relationship without being taken advantage of? Also, what can I do to make myself a more attractive candidate? I have one rental property but that's about it. 

Looking forward to your advice!

Thanks,

Michael

PS if there is anyone in Prince George's County, Washington DC, or Northern VA investing in buy and holds, wholesaleing or any REI that is willing to mentor please let me know! I learn better by doing!

I'm going to drop some truth on you right now. You sound desperate and weak. Stop it! 

You already have a rental property? You're doing better than 75% of the people that get suckered into  "Graduate" from those guru seminars. I would continue to be active on these forums, listen to every single podcast here and network amongst people you meet at local meet ups and REIA meetings in your area. Gain free knowledge from BP and the resources here and I think you'll gain some confidence and realize you really don't need what you think you need from the people you're hoping to meet.

Knowledge is power! 

ps you were lucky you were broke at the guru event! You saved yourself some real money that you can put toward your next deal
