The best thing to do is to find someone that has ambition and little bit of experience and try to make it work.The Best thing to do though, is to do yourself, make a bunch of mistakes and learn from them because if you just listen to what a "mentor" has to say and do it his way, you'll fail quicker than you started.

Hello everyone. I'm a poor boy from PA, in the information-gathering stage. I've read multiple books on real estate investing, but have yet to start out. I've just turned 23, and am in school to be an electrician. Wha...

So what I hear from everyone is that the perfect realtor for my team has -Zero money themselves but lots of expenses so theyre hungry.Zero other investors in their stable but lots of good contacts for finding deals for meZero properties themselves but impeccable ability to find and negotiate great dealsZero ambition to work for anyone other than you but endless energy for meTongue in cheek (mostly). 

Your ambitions should drive your educational requirements.

I bring ambition and desire to the table, that's about it.

Your sex, race, religion, family, size of your big toe or anything else has quite a bit less to do with the level of your success than does your ambition level and your discipline.How long have you been "trying" this?

I also have ambitions to scale my investments toward large apartment buildings and probably toward leading/deal management roles in syndications as well.

@Benjamin Hecker I think it is awesome that you have ambition to grow from what sounds like an already successful operation.

@Alexia Ned-Sowell you got drive and ambition for sure, 😊. 

I admire your ambition and eagerness, but I think it's best to at least appear to others that you know enough about what you do that you can be successful enough to make a living from it.I have never used direct mail of any kind, so I have no idea what color paper to use.Before striking off in different directions, I suggest you first, learn how to estimate market value using comps, understand the the types of transactions used and the related rules, regulations and laws pertaining to the transactions.
