Experienced investors will want to help you if you show initiative, drive, and genuine interest.

I never have an issue with them in contracts providing you present yourself as a genuine person and don't tell any lies.

As it happens, I genuinely like ALL of the above names - PatchOfLand, RealtyShares, and possibly even PeerStreet too (although they are a much younger newer entrant to the market, so I would like to see if they are still around in a year or two).   

I genuinely believe that given the size bathroom we have, it will not be possible to make a bathtub look sleek and elegant.Thanks everyone in advance!

Moving to a different market has been difficult during this time, so one of my current goals is to find good & genuine people to connect with & see if there’s anywhere I can help out in exchange for experience.

I know (or at least I hope) that most of the people on BP are genuine and are not out there to sc*** the new guy but I am also aware that there are predators out there too. 

But you HAVE to have faith and trust in the person you are working with, otherwise it doesn't matter how great the deal is.I'd start asking people ... send some privates messages on BP, connect with people for coffee, have a genuine interest in their business, and see where it might go.

I want to build a complex/duplex on my land and rent to tenants.I've been researching and reaching out to see what all I'll need to do, who I'd need to speak with, etc.Excuse my knowledge gap but I was in Healthcare for 14 years so this didn't matter until land and property were handed to me.So, I own land and would like to collab with someone who can assist and potentially build their portfolio this year by genuinely showing me and telling me the process of it all.Are there things on my end that I need to know, things to watch out for, credit, income, anything you can think of that would pertain to the development process will be greatly appreciated!!

You're going to need cash to contribute even if you source a deal and bring it to GPs who are willing to let you learn.

They will let you do it if they aren't shady and want to genuinely sell.
