Thanks dan and Dick for the welcome.No I can't say I've had a steady stream of flips...or a steady stream of anything.

There is no reason I have to wait for my diploma to begin my career as a real estate investor.So that you understand my intentions with RE, here are some personal reasons for my particular passion in this business:- It is an art form in my eyes- I had multiple stretches of homelessness in my childhood- I want to build relationships that will benefit future endeavors- I want to create multiple streams of income and bring diversity to my portfolio- Gain capital for other business investmentsThis post is written in effort to find a coaches/mentors/partners in this business.
