None the less here I am looking for other avenues of information, mentorship, and wealth building with very little of my own money to start off with, but now loving the term OPM as an option to get moving.  

Hey Emily,We do have a group that meets informally every month down in Waterbury.

Thanks for the welcome I think I am in the shallow end of the pool compared to most of the folks on here but I will try and keep up as some of the conversations are very informative.

Hello BP, I just received contact information for a local wholesaler here in Houston and I want to ask for his help with getting my foot in the door. 

It helps to have access to many people with resources of information and my time spent as a finance and insurance broker around the country has done just that so I enjoy a good peppering of questions.

- you make 50% of the net profit - that is net less advertising or expensive - so if the expenses are $1,000 you would make $9,500.00 and I would make the same.The expenses are usually the cost of advertising the property for sale.So............... it you are ready to begin creating leads - this is what I suggest you do ---Farm neighborhoods to look for FSBO's, send me as many expired listings as you can in the neighborhoods where we are going to invest, Go to housing court 2-3 times a week to listen to the cases and meet landlords after their case is called, run some ads in the local papers (I will design the ad for you), get me a list of all the local auctioneers in the community, put flyers on super market bulletin boards, ask 5 people a day if they know of anyone interested in selling their real estate.Look for commercial and business real estate for sale - get me all that information and we'll make a call to get information and make them an offer (you present the offer for us)Later in the "Mentor - Apprentice relationship we will advertise on radio.Any questions?

Ill have to look up the information or contact the real estate agent again and see if I can send you the details.As far as im aware, this bank will provide loans that cover the initial cost of the rental property plus expenses that need to be covered for fixing the place up.
