I attempted to engage in a creative financing deal with a gentleman that owned a very nice property that was in a pre-foreclosure state.

Then I moved to Suwanee recently and found one of my neighbors is engaged with STR in the Blue Ridge Mountains and another flips homes in the midwest (from his home here in ATL!).

@Louisa Davis, If you want to engage people in an investment pitch it's rather unprofessional to do so under the guise of half-truths and misrepresentations.

Something that I've found that works well is to charge a 25% deposit for the estimate I give if the total engagement is over $1,000.

If they don't hang up or say no, engage with them.

I always engage qualified legal and accounting professionals prior to transacting in new spaces or employing new strategies.

We love our home, but being engaged in this community earlier would've saved us a lot of heartache, so I applaud you for reaching out as you get started.

You need someone who clicks with you personally before engaging in a mentor/mentee relationship with the dedication and stress that may be involved.Where to find a mentorStart by looking within your existing network.

Well Don for my 40,000 post I thought I would engage in one of your threads.

.- You already engaged an architect, which is the first thing I would do.
