Hey hows it going! Along with my commercial investing career, I also do wholesaling here and there on the residential side. The last wholesale deal profited just a little under $30k back in November in La Mesa.

I agree with many other though, deals can definitely be hard to come by without the right systems or niches set in place.

@Benjamin Manibog btw, I just saw you're in Murrieta. Let's connect sometime. I'm in San Diego

@Benjamin Manibog whether or not that is the right program for you, it's still crucial to find a mentor somewhere..many will want you to invest into your mentorship. There's a saying that is found to be pretty accurate many times, "Those that don't pay, don't pay attention." I wouldn't split profits if I'm investing in their coaching/consulting, though. It's either one or the other

@Frank Wong exactly! I INVESTED into myself and hired a mentor after 9 months of "figuring it out" on my own. After 3 months of investing into a mentor, I landed 3 new development projects. That was back in 2014. 5 years later, I'm currently working on a mixed use commercial project in downtown San Diego. Mentorship is key.

@Rami W. I'd have to agree with @Antonio Gonzales  It would be best to get involved with an experienced developer at least for your first projects, which it sounds like this is. I know, because I am also in development in San Diego. I sent you a request if you would like to connect. 

Hey Jessica,

This is a great idea. Bringing people together with the same interests and similar goals.

You should go on Meetup.com and search Real Estate Investors and then join the group and attend the meetings. I network through Meetup.com and it's a great reliable source.

Brett Synicky...Thanks for the good advice. I will look him up. I would like to know more local REIs and network regularly with them. As they say, surround your self with successful people.

Jenkins Ramon Thanks. Hope business is going well for you. Have a great weekend.

Really? Damn. From the first page I was talking about 7 mile and Gratiot...but 6mile is worse? Actually yeah I believe it. But I know what you mean. Either way, it was a whole new view. What's funny to me is I saw a shirt at the store that said "I'm so badass I vacation in Detroit".

Aaron Yates Yeah she was just touring me around and yes I agree. It takes research and planning to get started in investing in the right areas of Detroit. Wish you the best of luck with your prospective gains in that market!
