Hey Bigger Pockets! I recently committed to becoming a MF investor and, ideally, I'd like to be part of an apartment complex deal within the next 6 months. Not as the primary syndicator, but as more than a passive investor. I'd like to ride shotgun to get as much exposure to all aspects of the process as I can.

But I'm an ardent believer in adding value to relationships and doing everything you can as an individual to set yourself up for success. So my question for the experienced investors is, what would it take for you to mentor a newbie on a deal you're doing? Is being a passive investor enough? Or maybe taking a smaller or non-existent piece of the pie in exchange for helping out wherever needed? Helping raise funds? 

Any input is appreciated, as it will help shape my approach of starting my investing career!

This has been a great read, so thanks to everyone who contributed. I'm attending Brad's R2R seminar here in Dallas next month and I'm strongly considering getting in to the MF arena. If anyone else is attending, feel free to reach out to me and let's connect at the seminar.

Thanks for posting all the updates. This should probably be mandatory reading for anyone who wants to get started in wholesaling(myself), so they can get an accurate picture of what it *actually* takes to land a deal. 

I'm trying to start wholesaling, so I'm asking this out of a genuine desire to be educated. Are you saying that assigning contracts is an all-around bad business practice? I have heard people say that you should always be ready to buy the property and then sell it as is. 

I'm about to be one of these new wholesalers and I'm trying to avoid nonsense like this. In your opinion, what level accuracy do you expect when it comes to estimating repairs? 

So one of the last things I'm exploring before starting wholesaling is exit strategies. I'm nervous about what happens if you can't find a buyer. Some people I've heard say you have to be ready to buy the house yourself if you can't find a buyer. What do you all typically do if you can't find a buyer?  Do you have an emergency exit strategy? 

Hey Xavier, I'm planning on getting started in wholesaling and using the TREC for my deals. The thought of dealing with contracts and the size of the TREC is intimidating, but these videos give an overview and in depth description of the contract that was helpful in getting over that fear.

Hello and welcome to BP! I'm new around here and, so far, I can say it's an excellent community. Since you're interested in properties around Dallas, do you mind if I add you as a connection? I'm going to be starting a wholesaling campaign around here in the coming months and I'm building a potential buyers list.

Hey Tye, we'll have to keep in touch(I live in Richardson). I'm in a very similar boat. I'm 26, just graduated, and I'm discovering the corporate life probably isn't what I want to do long term. I'm in the learning phase right now as well. 

I'm going to attend this with a friend of mine. Excited to meet you all!
