I am looking for a coach that can provide the step by step education required, provide guidance on doing the first deal, provide favorable introductions for key connections and relationships, pass along potential deal flow, and possibly include themselves as part of my team to avoid the lack of experience issue.Just like any investment, this requires a good amount of due diligence and should provide a decent ROI. 

I could provide you with a list of properties nationwide, but I'll tell you that our area (Charlotte, NC) we have a huge lack of inventory (major housing shortage), with 135 people per day moving here- so that would be a great market to consider.

The biggest hurdles, obstacles, and challenges in life that limit your belief and mental structure in no particular order:1)Thinking where you start is where you finish.2)People resting or stopping in the middle, not at the end. 3)Prioritizing instant gratification rather than delayed gratification4)The controversial mark twain  quote or not quote--It ain't what you don't know that gets you in trouble, it's what you know that ain't so.5) The lack of an ability to move on.6) Not appreciating the power of delegation.There's probably 2-3 others I am missing, but over time these have rang so true in any instance I have faced in life.
