The opportunity for positive cash flow after quick repairs.

Hi @Joshua Biondi Nice job being proactive.

The mentor will have an opportunity to know you, see your determination and will, and then decide to pour their time and energy into helping you develop.How to find a mentorNot every successful person will make a good mentor.

There are a few types of people who will buy your end of line flips….1) Those that will only buy truly safe … battle born… “equity the day I buy”.. opportunities And/or2) those that were trained to see real estate investing as a much more risky “ investment”… in other words  “ a buy that “SHOULD” have value after appreciation”With Buyer group #1… if you provide truly investor grade deals that haven’t been stripped of most of the equity before you try to flip, you will build a following of investor grade buyers that WILL pay cash and CAN close “ as soon as the title search is done”… This will net smaller nets for you initially , but you will own a REAL Buyers list… that WILL have the experience… to REALLY CLOSE ASAP.And that will make your machine run MUCH more smoothly.Or2) you can initially max out your net on a few deals as you scape out most of the equity for yourself… but you will only be working with non experienced buyers.. who will buy ….one… realize that they are in WAY too deep… have no B plan.. and they will be FAR less likely to buy again… AND they may never even make it to your first closing .So.. your choice… cultivate a crop of GREAT slam dunk , low work load real buyer investors…. where all you need to do is find the property , mark it up a LITTLE ..and we do all of the rest of the work…Or sew a crop of weeds…I do spend a little bit of my time asking wholesalers to take me off of their lists.I would love to buy from you.I don’t want to spend my time doing the initial marketing.I am willing to pay for your valueBut I don’t buy properties that don’t have TWO exit strategies1) enough equity AT CLOSING so that, at the very least I could sell it TODAY without taking a loss…..AND2) after my expertise …. 

@Matthew Banks yeah, lots of people get surprised when they hear the ol' "quit your job" pitch about real estate and learn that they traded one job for another. 

If you are solely judging your investment on the cash flow then yes, it's a bad time to purchase but you could be missing out on good  properties as there are plenty of distressed opportunities out there.

I am moving to Oahu with my girlfriend and we want to take this opportunity to transition from renters to homeowners and from consumers to investors where through house hacking we would end each month cashflow positive.

Do use a standard written application form with an ink signature that reads very closely like a job application. 3.

For cities, will your jobs have a physical location?

Never stop improving and seize any opportunity to expand your impact.
