A Mentor is some one who does not need you but finds out from you what it is you are looking for and takes his expertise and helps you grow.If you are looking to flip a house find a mentor who is doing that and ask them to work with and for them for free for a set time or project.

@ Bill Gulley Bill,I'm 38 years old,electrical engineer since 1998...Professional education not only give us an expertise on specific field also prepare us to overcome challenges,displine,etc.....I can recognize when i'm wrong ,so yes i will follow your advice and take some basic real estate class.Can you advice me what you consider a good start?

I know there are sub2 investment models based on long term buy and hold and that's fine, just not my cup of tea.

I'd like to incorporate wholesaling to my business model.

"Real Estate is always local" (So it's difficult if not impossible to determine national trends and predict the future)I think the most telling portion of the interview is that 1) no one knows what is going to happen...yes there have been sigificant gains in specific markets that are braggable but we don't know if it is sustained or not.2) Shiller was very open to rental- as a business model- is sustainable and growing.

I know lots of people love college rentals and make good money with them, but for me they are more management intensive (due to turnover)than what fits my business model.

.$300 non refundable per fee, $250 refundable deposit, $25 per month pet rentI have a good tenant who would like a pet so I am considering using this model.

I know it can be done, I've seen models like this work before.

All you have to do is develop your own investment model (Inputs, Actions and Outputs) based on what makes you feel comfortable. 

Momentum is gaining and this model is proving successful for me.
