Then cut in w brush and roll the walls.It's up to you what to do but educate yourself on the setups of spray. 

Here's how I do my due diligence:1) Portfolio matching: (takes 30 seconds per deal)a) Have an educated opinion on where I think we are in the real estate cycles (financial and physical market cycles)b) Then and only then do I pick the strategies, capital stack, and specialized asset subclasses that make sense for that opinion.

Any educated company would know that and they would know not to mess with security deposits. 

These events are great places to meet people who are serious about real estate investing and might be interested in partnering up.When you do find someone you think you can work with, start with small, low-risk deals to build trust and see how the partnership works out.Also, take some time to educate yourself more on wholesaling through the resources available on BiggerPockets, such as articles, podcasts, and forums.

But want to be as educated as possible first.

Look forward to being educated! 

My advice: focus on building a strong financial foundation first save consistently, manage your credit, and educate yourself on real estate fundamentals.

Nowadays, the internet has made it easier to network, reach a larger audience, underwrite deals, research a market, and have access to education. 

I am sure BiggerPockets recognized this with the rollout of PassivePockets which should help educate potential LP’s before investing.

Educate yourself on what a good deal looks like and how to structure the capital stack.2.
