One angle would be to tell them your doing a summer project about mentors and would like to shadow them for a couple of days a week for school.  

@Ben Skipworth, unfortunately, I got focused on a different project and missed out on this one!

Hey BP,My goal is to hear some advice and/or pointers on what has worked for people with experience in what their advice is.Background:I'm a Carpenter in Northern California working for a General Contractor totaling 40Hrs-60hrs a week My current work is mainly Tenant Improvements/Remodels, In the past I've done custom homes as well.I'm sole provider at the moment for my family and am saving what I can though it probably wont be significant for InvestingIssues (oppurtunities):Dont have much capital 5000-10,000 - Saving about 500 a month Dont have GC license yet - Will have GC license in November 2017Will have Construction Project Management Cert early 2018 (March)I'm looking to be proactive and find an oppurtunity to enter real estate investing with a sustainable stratgegy.Current thoughts:- I can work full time and get jobs on the side to add to capital power - wholesale remotly, with savings?

It still projects to cash flow anywhere from 8-11% over a 5 yr hold, with a total return of over 100% to the investors including capital gains at sale.  

I've done some quick analysis of a few that I have seen and they would not provide any cash-flow.

I currently reside in Morrow Georgia so if anyone's in the neighborhood or in the area would like ever meet up or need a helping hand on a project just shoot me a message!

I've had to tow dozens of cars for a variety of legitimate issues - parked in the wrong assigned space at the wrong time, failure to move for snow removal efforts, paving projects, etc.

Jason Bindra Thanks for the great analysis.

I'm not bragging, just stating my situation and how maybe I can be of help to you.Usually during this time I am working on one of my own projects with a live in flip or rental, but we just bought an acreage and won't be taking on a project by ourselves this Winter.That's where you may come in! 

Hope all goes well for you and I hope you would be willing to share some tips with me with your experience on this project.
