I've tend to agree with the philosophy to learn the rehabbing through buy/hold or flipping first as a beginner and then do wholesaling last.

If anyone else has a different solution or philosophy I'd like to hear it.

Where my philosophy is Safety before Liquidity before Profit, many large REITs and large privately held RE investment firms look at profit before liquidity before safety as their guide posts.

Your post basically asks for what you want, many of us are raising money for different real estate syndication deals, and we all have investor questionnaires for potential investors to determine if they are qualified.I am sure you will receive private messages from folks.Figure out your personal investment philosophy, get information from those people in whom you may have interest and then do some due diligence on the deals that pique your interest.

My personal philosophy is that a home with a mortgage that you live is an "expensive doodad" and not a benefit.
