Hey Tyler Lee, just wanted to shout out.  I am in the same situation down here as a college student in Pensacola FL.  I posted about this issue earlier and where to find hard money lenders.  Unlike you I was unable to find a partner but what a few people have suggested to me is to try to find real estate agents who can hook you up.  Also I would suggest you trying to see if there are any Bigger Pockets members in your area who can tell you what they would do for that kind of situation.

Hey I just wanted to thank y'all for reaching out: Ade O.  Jeremy England, Korey Rademacher, and Tchaka Owen.

I am so excited I got a response.  These are real live people doing what I want to do and I think it is so cool!

Tchaka Owen, true, and I see the value in that, but because of certain reasons I am sort of on my own when it comes to that.  Again, most of the people I know (since I am a college student thousands of miles away from home) are other college students who have no better experience or finances than I do.  That is why I was hoping there is some way for someone who has basically no credentials to get in touch with someone who would be willing to either join up with me or give me advice on deals that I may have missed something on.  I would be more open to working for or helping someone who has some experience than the blind leading the blind so to speak. Do you know of people in the pensacola area who are looking for the opposite?  Someone to help them double check their work or even find the deals for them.  Ade O.  I will message you as well.

Again to both of you, I am trying to find a trusted partner to work with.  But I am brand new in the business.  How do I know that other businesses are credible??  It will take a leap of faith to do my first deal but if I have a credible partner or an investor who would allow me to work with them then I think it would be possible to secure a good deal.  Korey Rademacher, I do not have an investor friendly real estate agent working with me.  Thankyou for your offer.  What happens next?

I would love that. I love everything I am learning and think I’m ready to take the next step. I’m practicing with the calculators.  But I don’t know much about getting a lender or how all that works. Although I have a job at my college ( Pensacola Christian College)  all that money goes toward school and I keep finding the words “being proof of income “. So I’m sort of confused at what to do next.  If that makes sense...?

So I am college student in Pensacola and am wondering if there is anyone nearby who could give me some advice on the market down here.  I will need to have a hard money lender in order to purchase my first house but am not sure if the network place on bigger pockets is the way to go.  When I click on them they send me to a completely different website.  Are these lenders ok to use or just a list on here? ( I wish for it to be either a rental (for the cash flow) or a wholesale.)  Do any of you have any suggestions?
