Wanted to introduce myself ...my name is Isidro...i am from California, i recently got offered an opportunity to get into the real estate investing by my landlord...he has been doing this for about 15-20 years and offered me to work with him...basically i find/generate him leads...he puts 100% of his money, we buy homes cash, if i work on rehabbing he will pay me an hourly rate, and in the end he gives me 40% of the profits...sounds like a fair deal to me since i have 0 liability, i am not using my own money and he is an experinced investor.

Hi Zach,You can either cold call lists that you purchase or leads that are generated through D4D (if you can find a property scout/bird dog situation), hire someone to place signs for you.

@Joel N.I feel it is great thing if you do not want to get involved with the entire real sales process, find an agent that is great pass him/her your possible retail and/or commercial leads and get a referral check.

I still have to view the property, as I'm just going off of a lead and running numbers, but you are correct in that I will need to get a feel for what will need to be done each month and each year as units become vacant.

I think I ran across a Youtube video that lead me to BiggerPockets.Happy 2019!

This is a paid option but it is usually pretty cheap for each lead. 

Get a strong operating agreement drafted that outlines the purpose of the business and your individual roles in detail.Take it one at a time and grow from there!

Hey Michael, congrats on the new role. 

If most of your lenders are like the ones that I call, they talk for quite a while before even finding out what I want to do with the loan or rate that I'm looking to get, if they know your rate prior to going off on a tangent, it may let them know if they can offer you something or if your rate is so good that they can't compete, leading to a more efficient conversation.Worst case scenario: You tick someone off. 

Any methods on gathering leads online?
