Aloha Maureen,Have you lined up your team yet or you're still in the interviewing process? 

Regardless of how you find them, try to interview at least three managers.1.

Since that time I've gotten my real estate license, quit my retail sales management job, interviewed a broker then decided to originate mortgages through a friends recommendation, made the most money I've ever made (which is not a lot of money at all to the investors that I've met/heard/read), and saved enough money to start a mailing campaign.

I did not take my time interviewing agents.

when finding mentors, I always recommend to try and build a relationship rather than treat this like an interview.

You may have to interview a few, but you should be able to find one that will lend you 80% of ARV on a construction/renovation loan. 

I even use Skype and TeamViewer to communicate with clients so I'd highly recommend looking for one of the best with great references that interviews well with you.So look for someone you can connect with that works out for your situation.Feel free to ask here if you have questions.

We are interviewing an architect Wednesday about plans so in the very early stages.
