I want to reach out here first before I pull a random firm off the internet.

This is random but you wrote a really good article a long time ago on bigger pockets about creating a scope of work: https://www.biggerpockets.com/...I really like the checklist form you created for the SOW.

I'd love to network with some fellow rookies and hop on a Zoom call once or twice a week to work through some random houses on the MLS (I'd provide link and virtual drinks lol) to build our confidence and knowledge base.Afterwards would love to connect with an experienced investor to quickly gloss over a few to see if we've headed in right place, (this might require real drinks if in Houston!

Sell stuff, find random jobs.

My partner randomly mentioned something to me that caught my attention in regards to a loan program specifically offered through Bank Of America. 

@Vincent Salazar Some random thoughts I wish I knew before I formed my first partnership:1.

Believe me, loan officers are very hungry to establish a relationship and I could probably hook you up with someone that would be responsive and educational.There are 2 routes you could go: 1) An established loan officer that knows everything and is more likely to be creative to get deals to go through, but would have less time for random questions 2) A hungry and newer loan officer that would give you all the time in the world, but may not have experience with tweaking details to make things work. 

I wouldn't do random searches on zillow, trulia, or redfin as 95% of agents have zero experience with investing and won't be able to help you.The agent can recommend others they have worked with and why they work with them.  

However as I still do work a day job, I an not quite at the point where I can start taking Random Phone calls from the general public, which makes Driving for Dollars, and mail campaigns challenging to field leads (Phone Calls) in the middle of the work day.This is where I need to start playing to my strengths. 

Not that it matters in the grand scheme of things, but Florida's no income tax will seem like less of a consolation when you see all the random BS taxes that show up on your property closing statement ;)
