I am new, but have partnered with an experienced Investor who has been flipping houses for years and has buy and hold properties as well.

I don't consider myself an experienced marketer.

The more times you take a deep dive running the numbers getting experienced you can start using "paper napkin" numbers to make deal analysis easier/quicker.

I am an eager newbie searching for an experienced mentor to assist with insight & wisdom in rehabs & creative financing in the New Orleans market/ metropolitan area.

I would have her talk to an experienced short sale team in her area, to discuss the time frame, options and process of negotiating a short sale.  

Any experienced GCs on here that are in St.

I will let more experienced folks provide detailed feedback, but wanted to say a quick welcome and good luck as you get started.

Also, the most important thing you can do starting out is build a strong team around you or partner up with an experienced investor to mentor you through your first few projects.

Wow that is interesting hopefully some of the experienced investors here on BP give us some insightful information in regards to this post.
