I am looking for someone like a mentor to steer me in the right direction to success.

I havent taken my contractors test as of yet but I have good experience in building and rehabbing.I'm looking for some direction on investing and flipping.

I been reading about wholesaling reo and it seems like a good stradegy to add to my belt with direct mail.  

If anyone could steer me in the right direction on where to find contracts I would love to connect and network with as many people on this site to complete deals with.

The couple is behind on paying me rent by a few hundred dollars, and the guy wants to apply his half of the security deposit to pay part of what he owes me (and pay me the rest in cash).I'm a bit overwhelmed by the newness of this.

I'm currently still active duty military, and my goal is to get my real estate business firmly established in the next four year so that when I get out of the service I don't have to apply for jobs unless I really want to (probably not).

But the house is stucco exterior with tons of cracks in the stucco that have to be repaired. 2 stucco Contractor's have quoted us $12k - $15k to sand blast, patch, apply a new "brown coat" and finishing color coat.

We structured our deals a few different ways, 1)  in our IRA where we funded a mortgage to purchase with a profit split, and 2) directly purchasing the property in our name with a profit split.

Thank you for pointing me in a direction that could make this work!

She asked me why I didn't call her directly and if I knew the house was listed on her website.
