We train Property Locators (we call 'em BirdDogZ) all over the country and feel that having a "mentor" in the business is absolutely a great thing.That being said, I will agree with Ryan's suggestion that you start your learning process now to get a genral grasp of Real Estate Investing so that you can ask quality questions of your mentor.You must also understand that the people that actually wake up everyday and do the business of Creative Real Estate Investing are asked e v e r y d a y to be someone's mentor.

But I can't find anything online to confirm that.

Your best bet for determining a true CMA (comparable market analysis) is to use a trained pro.

Taxes can be precisely calculated from your tax accessor's website (most of the time its online), and for insurance I'd call your agent and ask for a quote.

You can usually get one online from your state's real estate commission or also from a title company.Recent comparative sales from a realtor will ALWAYS be the MOST accurate way of determining value.

when you find an investor that wants to contract you to find them properties that you have research how do you form the contract agreement with them. meaning do you have a website where they can sign an online agreement or do simply mail them the contract and wait for them to sign it and send it back. and if you do do you include the property's address in the contract that you want to assign to them (if you have one already) thus giving no reason to sign with you now that you reveal the property.reason why i ask is because i have come across many different forms of agreements and just want to get an idea of which is the best form to take.thanks guys
