Wow. The responses are almost overwhelming. Thank you so much everyone. I have begun listening to the podcast and it's truly a wealth of information. It's really nice to see an industry welcome newbies with open arms.
I do have a question for those who may be able to give some advice. I looked through my local Craigslist listing, just to try and get a better idea of what the market in metro atlanta is like, and I came across a post that said 'attn wholesalers'. I click in the link and it's a man that says he was looking for someone to come out into the field and really be serious. I gave him a call and he said that he lives in Miami but is currently trying to get into the the Atlanta market. He wanted me to help him find deals and we would split the profits 50/50. Now I know it seems like he's pretty much getting a large chunk of profits for very little work as I'm the one that would search for deals. The way that I see it is that I would have him show me the ropes when it comes to wholesaling as I am in need of a mentor. He has already given me training videos for me to become more familiar with the business. My question is, seeing as I know little about him, what can I do to minimize any risk that may come to me in this situation? Thank you all in advance
