I used to volunteer teaching classes to people who were facing challenges in finding housing due to their past history.My advice to a person with negative history is to re-frame it in their mind, boost their self-esteem, and present themselves as renters who have learned from their mistakes and have reinvented themselves as responsible and law-abiding. 

If there is anyone looking for a volunteer to help them out with their business as well, I feel that would be a great way to learn hands on in exchange for me hounding them with questions and gaining as much knowledge as possible. 

I later found out the tenants had volunteered to install an alarm system.

There are brokers who use volunteers to avoid paying for staff. 

Some neighbors came out of woodwork with their pieces volunteering to take Badness out, but a friend of the family got him fr the house.

Are you volunteering to do an interview on him James?

You can even take the wholesaling one step further and offer to volunteer as a co-project manager on that investor's project where you work along side of them or their project manager to get the feel for the process.Get a baseline educational foundation before you venture off into anything...just like Basic Training for Real Estate.

My dream was to always be able to contribute significantly to the local communities (not just volunteer but rather financially) and realized the trajectory of my career is too slow.

I joined my local real estate club about 2 weeks ago and volunteered to redesign their website.

., we were excited to find a way to not only honor service members and first responders, but specifically to honor the members of our team who volunteered to serve in our armed forces and the many who have fought for our freedom.
