He's in a completely different market, but he was more than happy to talk with me and answer a very specific question I had, on a subject which I noticed he had posted about.

I would recommend tapping into the investor network (happy to point you to a few groups, including one meetup I run in downtown Matthews called Southeast Charlotte Real Estate investors.)

People will rightfully assume that you cannot know as much as an older person, you just cannot have that much experience.The best way to gain people's trust is to do a couple deals and get happy satisfied clients who will use you again and refer you to others ......I don't see a shortcut here.Or else you have to have the deal of the century.   .people will sometimes sacrifice their comfort level when there is money to be made..Good for you though for starting so early, just hang in there and don't give up...

Secondly, if you want to have some good spread, look at off market vacants or distressed. 

I'm always happy to chat REI locally, and would encourage you to come to the next meetup -- second Wednesday of the month at Pearl Street Grill & Bar downtown.

Alas, we're in the Tampa Bay area and not Indy, but I'm happy to discuss it some time if you want to PM me. 

I'm always happy to provide any insight I can for new investors. 

I’m happy to use any resource with better rates to finance our properties.

Happy to take a look at pricing myself if you want to connect!

its just everything else real estate related I bet 20% of so called investors buy 80% of the props.. the rest are dreamers or afraid to pull the trigger are supreme time wasters. and or the number crunchers who rely on some spread sheet to determine their returns etc etc.
