I am however looking to connect with other people who want to make a difference and see other investors succeed.

If they help you succeed, you will continue to do more deals and they can make their share, lending you the money do to the deals.

The people who have what it takes to do deals, will probably succeed, especially when they have knowledgable people in their corner, at which point they will probably also say the program was well worth it.Another bonus of going to REIAs and meeting people who are really "doing it" - you might develop a relationship where you can call them when you need advice!

To succeed in real estate you need time, knowledge, money/credit.  

Just remember if this one doesn't succeed, dont stop there... there are people who would be willing and if not, there are other ways.

It is very difficult to succeed in any field you do not become a student of first.I also think joining a community will help you become more comfortable and build relationships that can help answer questions and direct you to the right resources.Finding someone who is doing what you want to do then become a sponge.

My partner and I are both educating, reading, and constantly learning from others who have succeeded as we plan to do the very exact same.Any tips or advice that anyone out there has to offer, please do not hesitate to contact.

The information that you will get here, if followed, will help you succeed. 

All I ask is that I'm treated with respect and can work with someone who is genuine and interested in seeing others succeed alongside them.
