My main interest is real-estate investing.

Some quick flip guys/private equity ones try and minimize repairs so they can meet return hurdles for investors.

If ever you run into any hurdles along the way, or just want to grab a coffee or lunch and talk strategy, feel free to reach out.  

My main question with them would be, as a KW agent is it easy to find a mentor to latch on to ?

My main question is if it would be smarter to use the money I have saved up to purchase a primary residence here in Los Angeles so I am no longer throwing money away on rent, or if I should use that money to invest in a rental property some place like Atlanta, where I'm familiar with the market and is definitely more affordable.

@Raden Mantuano  One of the main purposes of probate is to make sure that the creditors get paid.

Right now, I am looking mainly in Houston area.

I mainly want to help investors find property, whether it's buy and hold or potential flips. 

Is this strategy mainly for a down market?

OPM is what makes it in this business, thats Other Peoples Money. credit. if you don't have it, get it. if your credit is shot, fix it. go to www.annualcreditreport.com and work on improving that credit score. its free. and watch the podcasts here on BP. education helps, but it can slow you down. you have to jump in and jump the hurdles that you can and knock down those that you cannot. no on ever learned anything without getting started and failing a time or two. think of all the great inventions created in the last 200 years. not one of them was a success without first figuring out how NOT to do it. good luck to you
