In my senior seminar class, one of our assignments is to identify a mentor to meet with in person or virtually 4 times this semester in an industry we are interested in pursuing upon graduation.I would love to connect with a bigger pockets member that has experience in personal real estate investing for themselves or who has work experience in a specific field that has allowed other people to achieve financial independence through real estate investing.

In regards to the problem of specifically finding a deal, I developed a platform with the aim of easing the property-finding process for single family properties on the MLS.

How is maintenance handled and what specific info is shared with owner & when?

As a broker, I'm always trying to find the best deal for the specific client and property.If you are looking for local private money lenders, your local real estate investment groups might have some leads for you as well.Most institutional private lenders are going to need an appraisal/valuation of the property, and permits to be issued for the construction of the building (if your area requires it).

Now the really specific part is that it is in a retirement community, if anyone can share both negative and positives of renting there, it would be greatly appreciated.

What specifically do you need help with for a fix and flip?
