What is your mentorship experience and background?

It happens, which is why I'm posting this story so others can learn from my experience.  

I would suggest getting Dave Ramsey's book called The Total Money Makeover and read that.

Your decades of experience have made you jaded. 

In terms of finding a partner, I would recommend partnering with someone who has something that you don't have (understands renovations, real estate experience, has money, etc.)

Please let me know what you think.thank you for taking the time to read through this. 

I work with out-of-state investors and would be happy to share my experience and how I can help you in your next investment purchase.

With most products their is a place where this makes sense, but in my experience there is only 1 with this product Right Way = Pretty low credit score and cannot qualify for a traditional loan to access the equity and you need the cash fast Wrong Way = Any other reason than the above. 

Nope, time to read a book on RE!

I was reading online that it was 2.3%.
