I think its great what you are doing- I don't know if most have had the experience that I have- I'm open to mentoring someone but I will meet someone on the board and say hey my number is in my signature- Feel free to call me but just never hear from them and I go hmm okay maybe they weren't that serious.I think I've gotten an actual phone call from like 2 people on the board in my area and both of them I talk to pretty regularly not in a mentorship capacity but more to bounce ideas off each other.I think some newbies are afraid to reach out because they feel they will get rejected or someone won't want to spend the time to help them get started.

Hi Mark,By posting you have that cash you will get hit up by everyone under the sun.You will also be told 100 different ways to invest the money by people that each look at things differently depending on how they invest and their areas of specialty.For instance I might like and recommend certain things and others might totally disagree and like something else.Typically in your situation I would recommend discussing over the phone with different individuals in varying aspects of real estate.People call me all the time and I am happy to talk about retail or large multifamily, triple net leasing, etc.So learn the ins and outs of varying type of investments and then look at possible ways you can invest.

I know mine is ruff, but 90% of the time im using my cell phone to enter BP information while on the go.

If you have lunch with him count the phone calls and texts he gets.

I choose any phone number that people call and it gets routed through that number without actually going to my personal phone?

The insurance that is a guess, my in laws are insurance agents and not answering the phone right now!

I'm on my phone, but maybe @Patrick Tutwiler could link you back to the other thread that discusses JV partnerships.

It has 4 simple lines, name, phone number, email & notes(to write criteria, company name alternitive etc...)I drive around and every time I see a for rent, for lease, we buy houses sign.

Most of the skip tracing sites will require you to have a business, business address, business phone number, business license.

Then you have to look up your own credit score and I assume provide them with proof of 700 middle score.If you are interested in them, I would just contact them and ask many questions.I do not see a privacy policy on the website nor a way to cancel or back out once committed.This could be remedied with a phone call to them.
