Helping friends and family with no experience is a terrible idea.

I also worked with Hoosier Custom Construction, Bryant Burdine, last year and it was the absolute worst experience we've ever had.

What is some advice or experiences that you have gone through when you first began? 

Focus on getting your first property and gaining experience.

Look for an appraiser with credentials such as MAI or SRA as they will have advanced education and experience in real estate valuation.

Does anyone have any experience with converting a multi-family property into a motel/hotel?

How would I go about getting experience at 14?

You don't need to know everything to get started; you need a foundation to build on and the rest will come through experience and then refining your education.You can build a basic understanding of investing in 3-6 months.

Hi, All:I know this has been addressed in the past but I wanted to share my experience and get some feedback on others' interactions with Freedom Mentor.I've been seeking a mentor in REI for a while and have been watching Phil's videos on YouTube for years so I sought his 'mentorship' via his Freedom Mentor Program.

They have provided me a reasonable quote and the person I've spoken to seems reasonable, but would like some feedback about this company or hear someone else's experience.
