You’re not incredibly liquid right now but what about your credit, how much time do you have to find a deal, are there any skills you could bring to the table for a rehab or raising money?

I'm currently looking for my first deal so It's hard to imagine what to put in credibility packet when all the skills I have are not real estate related.I guess what I'm asking is how do you make people like lenders and other investors believe in you as much as you do?

I would love to join in on any BP groups that do OOS deals  (I have proven time management, attention to detail and paperwork organization skills in exchange for getting to learn alongside some REI masters). 

I recommend that bidders should always approach any skillful & responsible conversation with the assumption that listing agents know what the buyer needs to know, and more times than not they do.

Just like everything else in life, get started, keep honing those skills (i.e. keep reading, keep learning, keep attending the meetups) and watch yourself get better and better witch each property you buy.I hope this helps and good luck on your real estate journey!

It's great to see a range of options that can cater to different interests and skills.

If someone can find a free mentor, they trust, that has capital and success, they by all means that is the way to go.Providing free mentorship seems to be by a limited number of people, if the requests and notable lack of response means anything on Bigger Pockets.And why should we expect successful, skilled people to give up their time for "investors" who show a 95% failure and drop out rate?

I have 2 boys and 2 girls.The girls are ideal money mangers and completely suited to managing properties and tenants whereas the guys are poor money managers and different very skill sets.
