She lives in a nice development up on a hill overlooking a big Lake.

So I'd like to identify a wholesale house or REO that's a fixer and we'd partner on it.

BTW almost forgot, real estate is a people to people business, take this guys out to eat to talk business, take them for a drink or two at a nice place, develop a relationship.

Then it's identify the need and fill it.

I thought bird dogging would be a good way to develop a buyers list, but I'm having second thought now.

A few of the different items I"ve identified so far are their accessibility, what marketing costs to expect, what the profit split is vs. the cost of the mentoring, the mentoring contract itself, experences of past mentees, and whether the mentor has experience in my local market.

I would prefer to be able to have all the money needed to finish the rehab all the way instead of doing it in stages because I wouldn't want the property to sit for more than it has too.I did take some classes on real estate finance and development in college, but I think it would help me the most if who ever answers my question assumes I don't know anything because I'm sure I'm missing a lot of information.Thanks, joined BP just mins ago.

I get concerned when people have 2k+ for deposit/rent off the bat, usually they left there past landlord stuck so they developed cash.

Before committing their time and energy to your development, they will likely want to see evidence of your personal commitment to your education and development.

Once you do, you have 45 days to identify what you are going to exchange in to.
