Hi @Dana R.We emailed you a response for your specific application but I wanted to follow up here as well: Tradelines are credit account records that are provided to credit reporting organizations.

A good alternative could be to have a VA scrape the internet for leads for you, and put them into an organized form for your review.

$0.47 per stamp, that's $7520 out of pocket.I can almost guarantee you that if that same person was a licensed agent and sent 16,000 letters that simply said "Hi, I'm a local real estate agent, I know our area and community, I'm passionate about real estate and helping people, and I'm also a volunteer at XYZ Charity Event coming up next week if you'd like to come and meet me, or if not hey let me know if you or anyone you know could use my assistance" (polish it a little but you get the idea) and included 4 business cards in each of the sixteen thousand mailers... that'll get "slightly" more than zero responses and likely earn that person "slightly" more than zero dollars and zero cents!

Our organizer (me) and current members want the project as leveraged as possible and we are only considering recourse debt.

@Andrew Greer also organizes meet ups that are typically near the downtown neighborhoods that would be good to check out as well.Good luck with your investing.Luke

@Sherry Patterson organizes a meet up in Colleyville for a lot of people from BP.

Find someone at the meeting who is doing the same type of investing you are interested in and offer to help them for free with whatever they may need for their business (marketing, organizing, painting their flip, etc) in exchanged for their mentorship.

My rental income is enough to support me financially without having to work another job and although I have found a lot of fulfillment in volunteering and doing things that support others in need, I have this growing desire to get back into the thick of things, and the rush of making some dough.

You can also search meetup.com which is where I organized mine.

If they would like to be a manager then they have to work their way up with your organization or go elsewhere where there might be an immediate opportunity.My employee knows I welcome suggestions BUT I am the owner of the business and call the shots.
