@Frank Patalano

My husband and I are new on this journey. We live in Monroe, NC and have been looking at deals and analyzing them. Gone as far as reaching out to potential leads and then its it's like he hits a wall. I believe he has analysis paralysis where I'm ready to jump in and get started. His biggest issue is that he doesn't want to borrow money to do flip and fix. He wants to start out wholesaling, which I'm fine with, but he doesn't seem to want to take the plunge and start making offers. How can I get him over his fears and get our business started?

Okay, I'm new to Real Estate Investing; I mean like brand spanking new! I have heard I need a team which makes all the sense in the world: RE Agent, RE attorney, General Contractor, Lender, Mentor- my head is spinning! I am trying to figure this all out, so that leaves you - my BP community.

Can I do this, start - without a mentor, while I find a mentor, and how do I find a mentor?!

I've been reading and watching the videos that BP has. I am looking into what events will be held near me (Monroe, NC), and to start talking to people and getting information, etc. I know the relationships between a real estate investor, their team and mentor should be organically established, which makes total sense. I do not want to force a business relationship, I would rather enjoy calling and speaking with someone knowing that we both are looking to build together. Any suggestions from my BP Community will be greatly appreciated on how to get all this together, because I want to do this right (though I am sure there can/will be ups and downs). Unfortunately, I do not know anyone in RE, family or friends (except those who bought their personal homes) to go to for advice, but I do not want to let that stop me.

@Chris T.- Thanks for that info. My husband and I are new to BP and our real estate investing journey. We are looking forward to meeting  and getting to know other investors in the Charlotte area. If timing allows we will try to be there (even though neither of us drink, lol).
