I'm 18 and have a whole summer to devote entirely to WORKING FOR YOU!

Everyone knows this of course...If you spend all your time searching for a killer deal and try to raise money after you have something, there is a higher probability that your killer deal will be scooped by someone who can close.This happened to me several times, it really stinks to lose a good deal.In summary, you will need to look at how much time you can devote to this business, carve up your day or week into chunks of time.

Real Estate Investing has become my passion and goal for the future, my willingness to learn and my devotion will bring me to my goals.

I work a full time job and am busy but I am willing to devote my available free time to learning how to make my next purchase in the multi family realm, I just want to take this step with knowledge and experience I can gain from those who have been there and done it.

But I think the point of most of the other posts in this thread is right on target - if you're at the point that you already know you need these people, you're at the point that you should be devoting a vast majority of your energy and time to looking for deals, analyzing them, and making offers. 

In order to maximize your potential deductions, aim to have at least half of each weekday be devoted to business activity. 

I'm new to BP and RE investing, have some $ to invest and am creating my plan.Looking to devote my ample time to quickly building a portfolio of rentals (MF?) 

I am just big on not taking on a task that I wouldn't be able to devote the attention that is necessary. 

@Sam Shueh, I have saved it in my bookmarks, when I have more time I will devote to taking a look.  

I devote a few hours everyday to reading and researching things, but I'm still curious about a lot (types of investing, types of investment financing, juggling work, life and real estate, etc.).
