Figure out what you want to do with the funds before you start to ask people for them or you won't have much credibility and may burn your best options.

HI @Robert Burns,We have a realtor in my area that has a weekly show, they display houses and do have a good number of viewers.

I said I would be interested in buying them if he would owner finance (I am currently trying to do a flip and don't want to burn up all my cash).  

I chose to forgo my interests in real estate a couple of years ago and chose respiratory therapy and I am now burned out.

There was a webinar on Bigger Pockets tonight titled: How To Analyze A Fix And Flip Deal And Avoid Getting Burned.

Back when they were little, I had a small real estate empire growing that included 12 rental units on 4 properties but I had to burn it all to the ground (or liquidate I guess...) to get a safe distance from their mom. 

Keep the fire burning.

A solid plan is a path my men can work on, but frequently changing your mind or holding up productivity because a lack of a decision burns up money.
