We are always looking for hungry talented people in the commercial investment world. 

@Alan Walker is a talented investor in the Salt Lake area and looking to partner with people on buy and hold rental properties.

Hopefully all my talents are hidden in real estate.Any other liked or non-like minded individuals out there?

But you’re right I do need mentoring, it’s just that I don’t have any special skills or talents and even the money to offer them, but I do work hard and I’m sure everyone here does.

@Michael Tripp I will most likely take that approach; meet talented people, and in the mean time keep working and saving so that I can bring more value to the table. 

Yes, I have my core team and they are very solid, but team members come and go so you always need to be top grading for talented folks. 

However, it wasn't until the past 2 weeks or so, that I've decided to take the plunge and finally put all of my past talents to work in one endeavor. 

I had to make the change because my talent was being taken advantage of without a partnership or percentage when I ran the construction side of his business.

@Mandi Lambert Make sure to discuss with your accountant and your tax and asset protection attorney to determine the best overall structure for you and your businesses but yes you would want to set up a separate entity for flipping and a separate entity to own each property you plan to hold long term.Sounds like you have a lot of talent and resources you can leverage into the real estate investing side of the industry.

If your goal is to make money while you sleep, you need to get comfortable with finding and hiring honest and talented professionals to take the reins, so you can focus on the next deal, and the next one after that.
