I was determined to build my real estate business a lot quicker, with a lot more sustainability, and a lot less commitment to the tedious work most thought was required.So, here’s what I decided to do.

I am actively seeking mentors in my area who are willing to teach and guide a determined and hard working student.

It's great to hear your focus and determination at that young age.

If I contract a home and use you as my inspector, since I have never used you before and don't have a way to judge your work, If you use me as your inspector, determine upfront whether you want me to be nitpicky and create the largest report of meaningless findings to aid in getting a price negotiated lower (often due for new bills), a minimum number of findings to make it easier to purchase (often the desire expressed from real estate agents who don't want to blow up the transaction) or somewhere in between these two extremes. 

The mentor will have an opportunity to know you, see your determination and will, and then decide to pour their time and energy into helping you develop.

I will be out of state investing as well and really interested to hear more about how you structured your JV with your six investment partners .... and how you all came together and how you determined you determined this partnership fit.

Yes you will need the rehab to get done first before you can determine the value.

Initially, we conduct a pre-screening by sending out a basic application to determine if applicants meet our minimum requirements.

I cannot run comps on property with inaccurate information, and I will not be able to determine the ARV to make a good offer.

You can study them as well as play around with numbers to help determine what an appropriate buy box for you would be.
