I have extensive real estate, financial, and life experience, but I found a heavy hitter in my market that is letting me work some leads for him.

Many will lead you along, only to tell you last minute that they cannot help you because you are out of state.

No one is going to give you leads.

If you are flipping you can start in a couple different waysOption 1: base ARV off comps, not all multifamilies are created equal and depending on the area and particularly the condition this could lead you astrayOption 2: base ARV off cap rates which will need to be determined after rehab, and then price accordingly.

Get a co-signer. ( probably not possible with my family )Any advice or leads on good brokers and agents, especially via Skype or phone, would be greatly appreciated. 

I've watched a lot of videos, listened to podcasts, and read up on it.

I'll keep at it, one day at a time, and I believe this action step can help me get ahead and possibly speed up the process that leads to success. 

I like basing my real estate investment decisions on data, and Airdna can give you a good set of data points to work from.Then on BP, check out the articles and videos done by @James Carlson.

I have enough buyer leads but I'm stuck on attracting sellers. 

And it appears they look good based on what you know and/or you've been told.....which leads to the next point.Do your own homework on both ARV and rehab costs.
