New Wholesaler in El Paso, TX and others on here doing the same?
Hello all,
Just began the REI journey. While I am learning the area and wholesaling, I found out somethings. I will ask the questions, offer my help in return, and please forgive them questions I am a newbie.
I found a mentor, asked $3K to be mentored and part of his team. Then 50% of all deals we do together whenever we do. Hasn't provided anything besides that ask. I know, but wanted to ask if any of you all have encountered this while seeking a mentor out and thoughts on it.
As I began I don't want to fall into analysis paralysis, so I am asking for advice on that or any and also on great starting action plans. I also offer my help with whatever anyone needs that is working the area, example: analysis on numbers, the deal, walking the property or anything else that has to due with real estate investing you might need help with. Thanks in advance for the time and help with these beginner questions.
Kind regards,
Erik Oquendo
