I've focused on building my real estate resume and providing capital alongside the other investors.

This may actually be a reason to invest elsewhere- contractors in the more economically depressed areas, or with less of a nuclear housing boom, are far more likely to keep their commitments and actually do the work on time.

I'm a technologist by trade with over 15 years experience in Enterprise IT, IT consulting, Cloud computing and an extensive resume that includes a tenure working at Microsoft. 

Now, 2 months unemployed with no activity on countless resumes, phone calls and emails, the timing seems right to begin.I'm taking action to rehab/flip homes, as well as considering wholesaling (so we can eat in the short term)...

He seems completely unwilling to provide a copy of his Schedule E and does not have a report for the first 3 quarters of 2015.I will make an offer next week at the right price and Ill take Brandon's advice & include a letter of intent / Resume.  

I have three investments right now, with about 15 on my resume.
