We’d show up at mentors home, discuss being a realtor, then head back home after a long day of messaging people on Facebook asking if they would like to buy or sell.

I'm a buy and hold investor but I've discovered a few properties that I think would make good flips and I'd be happy to meet and discuss.

Ask your RE agent if they know of any HMLs.Best of luck!

Because of busy schedule i can not go to RE meetups in Dallas Fortworth area. 

Our state lobbyist out of Olympia spoke for a full hour on the socialistic bills and ideas coming out of the city council in Seattle in the Capitol.They are contemplating or have already enacted rules regarding no rent raises when service calls are unresolved, must show cause to terminate a m-m agreement, rent control, 5% capital gains taxes on RE sales (in addition to the 1.7% excise tax), pre-'78 lead inspections, periodic unit inspections, etc.  

I keep meeting successful RE investors who play lots of golf.

If it is when the property records, then all the paperwork will need to be re-done and re-signed.  

Make sure they invest themselves or at least are on the same page as you re: returns, ratios etc.Good luck!

And once they're finally gone, it'll take me some time to re-rent it (roommate in the lower, eventually new tenants in the upper) --- which will be difficult after October.
