Depending on what comes out of the talk, I believe that taking the initiative is important. 

I find that the traditional transactiom that you plug in all numbers from beginning to end, then you conclude if it is something you could do or walk, is highly ineffective, wasting everyone's time.

Buying and investing in houses,apartments,land,hotels,gas stations,office,industrial,retail,etc. all takes a specific skill set to do PROPERLY.How you arrange and structure capital is different as well.If you are jumping in to a new asset class of investing for yourself you need help to start off right.I have seen people jump from one asset class to another and then lose their shirt because they thought it wouldn't be that different and had the big ego from success in the other asset class.Most banks will want 25 to 30% down on a near to fully occupied complex that can show stable rental income for 6 months and preferably for 1 year or longer.New construction deals and value add deals are more risky so requirements vary.If you want to talk I can be reached by contact info.

Again, if she has red flags that you are unsure of, then walk. I

Please email me so we can talk. I

In the end, talk is talk.

I wasn't an agent I didn't have something to fall back on but I knew I could talk, I could connect and I could spark conversation.

Assuming, you are talking about finding a mentor in some sort of networking environment.Second off, and I think the guys who stated they started off young made this point without actually making it but; talk is cheap.

Thanks Nick maybe we can meet up sometime and talk, I really have a whole lot of questions I'm skeptical about.

I will give you my thought on this subject only.If you are going to pay someone to mentor you in the fine art of investing, make sure they have a history of success, TALK IS CHEAP, investigate, look at their portfolio, research their background, get proof that they are what they say they are, there are just too many con-artist out there that will tell you anything to get to your wallet!
