Hey, @Adam Johnson, well i went to school in the area VSU, and the seller is actually my mentor.

At a high level, my goals are to get an overview of his experience and start to feel out if there'd be a good mentor/mentee relationship.  

I am looking for a mentor to help me threw the whole process.  

The Human in us desires a Coach, Teacher, Mentor, Partner or Instructor to validate the information being received within the material, to be able to then bounce the information off of others with related knowledge (BP can assist with this aspect for sure) and finally to be held accountable to turn that information into action which should result in positive growth (and even higher income/profits as related to a career or business venture).Now I know, everyone can see or not see value in investing money to obtain a foundation or even an advanced knowledge taught by practicing professional instructors in the area related to the information sought, but why don't we complain about those same investments into an Accredited College for a paper degree which is suppose to have you prepared for the "Real World" experiences that come afterwards and sometimes fall short?

Technically a person could learn anything on the internet, HVAC, plumbing, electrical,... brain surgery for that matter....but the benefit of having a teacher/mentor is invaluable. 

The realtor I talked to told me to talk to local people to that have signs that say "WE BUY HOUSES"  and see if they have any back information meaning will they sit down with me for 15min and maybe mentor me.

Also the junior lienholders can say no way to their portion of a payoff.

HOA foreclosed on the apartment building and wiped out senior position lien and junior liens. 

This place is full of mentors, coaches, guru and wannabe gurus giving away and packaging contracts, most are pure trash I'm sure as I know the level of understandings of many of them.

Part of my list was absentee landlords and I have found three potential mentors from the campaign.
