Rather than giving them money or letting them live at home for free to help them out, I think creating opportunities for them to learn real world skills, develop their problem solving and people skills, and understand the power real estate/business to build wealth is far more valuable.  

You can read the entire excerpt about mentorship here but the gist is:+ Find a local investor in your area that you could learn from+ Make yourself valuable in a way that is meaningful to the other person+ Find someone to learn from that is already doing what you are aspiring to do (in this case, you're looking to connect with an experienced wholesaler)+  "Prove that you are in this for the long haul by being persistent, building knowledge, and actively growing outside of the relationship you are building."

Even if its only a very small profit, I learned a very valuable lesson. 

What factors would be most valuable to such a prediction model?  

@Daniel Ryu thanks for the valuable advice!

If that's the route you're going, a license is useful.Personally, I took most of the classes required to become a licensed realtor a few years back at a community college and the information has been very valuable to me as a real estate investor. 

Because there’s so much valuable information here and things to get into, what helped me was creating a routine.

I'd be shocked if you did because even just the dirt it sits on is quite valuable in that location.

Much more valuable than books and podcasts, and much more effective than what most newbies do, which is posting "how do I start a wholesaling business" in online forums. 

We are simply taking the precautions we can such as locking the building down and having no valuables present from the exterior windows, and working with our tenants.
