Using burner or Google Voice or any other means of a number that does not trace back to you is all fine and good,  but what happens when a city official is trying to teach you and realized your number is not traceable and calls you as an interested party that wants to sell you his house and wants to meet and then hands you a violation and fines you.?

We are fairly new and basically self teaching ourselves.

Just because I'm a contractor doesn't mean squat that I know anything about teaching someone to be a flipper.

So that when he gets back I can basically teach him the ropes then we can conquer the world of real estate investing together.

I also really like to share info with others and spend  a great deal of time teaching the financial principles of Dave Ramsey at work to those who want to learn. 

The Quick Pitch is a great way to connect with others and expose your needs.We had a large turn out at that open forum, lots of learning and real estate education - we discussed some creative Control and Roll system; this system is used to flip properties -- within 3 weeks without ownership; as reported to me,  the CEO of the REIA and auction company, our members settle hundreds of transactions for short term profits.I suggest you become a member of as many REIA's that you have time for - they are a great place to network and learn from other -----WARNING - some of the REIA's have guess speakers selling courses and seminars - make sure you check them out before you make a decision to buy their programs - there are lots of local mentors and professionals right here in Baltimore Maryland who will hold your hand, teach and mentor you - no need to buy a course from someone 3000 miles away - STAY LOCAL!

Since they would have a vested interest in you, they would more likely be willing to teach you trade secrets.

Now if only we could teach you to properly tag on BP ;-) 4) @Germain Mopa my last thought is that I share @Nick Fitzpatrick and @Michael Dumont II's concern that "I can't get a loan because the property is a duplex" doesn't make a lot of sense to me  based on past deals, especially when your buyer has a sizable amount of funds for a down payment.

Do you want someone that knows the business and will teach you the ins and outs?

However books and articles can only teach you so much so I thought I'd ask experienced wholesalers these questions.
