Another option would be to partner up with a mentor and try doing a low end flip.

Find a mentor and work for them and learn the biz.

Find out what they offer as far as training goes, and what kind of support do they give you once you start getting business.Ask the broker if they have anyone who can mentor you while you get up and running.

Regarding partnerships my mentor has given me some advice.

Im starting my REI business and I would like to see if there is anybody out there in Broward County FL or the surrounding area that would be able to be my mentor!

At this point, I still didn't really know how to run comps, or even know which websites I can go to get accurate information (I started out using Zillow.com whichI still use, but now in conjunction with Propertyshark.com), but because of my partners, we got it under contract and made $16,500.3) Find Mentors. 

Also you can work with people who are doing it everyday...Find a mentor or a company and offer to help free of charge to learn the biz.  

If anyone could mentor me as far as wholesaling, I would greatly appreciate it.  

Mine tried to get me to pay $10,000 for more training as well as $10,000 for a mentor.

Research to find who is successful in doing what you want to do ( make money in real estate), offer to be a Locator for these successful pros, find deals for them, offer to work for free in return for some mentoring.There is no better way to accelerate your real estate career, find a mentor and you'll grow fast in this business.
