Talking to someone who is a professional in the business can be a major aid to a new investor before they get themselves too far along in their property search and I think for a new flipper an HML represents that better than the other professionals they'll encounter along the way (i.e. realtor, attorney etc).

I am currently a college student and a daycare teachers aide.

Sure, some may BS you to keep you out of there "cool-aid", but I think you will find most are overly friendly and helpful.

Presently, I am trying to get some traction in Boston and hopefully aid other rehab/ landlord type investors by tracking down properties for them or "wholesaling" while I am out here.
