Finding an Investor to shadow

[Michael Garrett]

Now that I've gotten serious about my real estate investing journey, I am looking to find someone to shadow. I have read several books and am ready to see this in action. Of the investors I've met in Frederick and other parts of Maryland, most are buy and hold investors but I'm looking for someone who does flips instead. Given that meetups are mostly populated with people just starting out, how do I go about finding someone who's successfully flipping houses to shadow?

I used to stop at every rehab project I saw. I either met a contractor or the investor doing the project both were valuable contacts. A place to meet the players is at auctions. Not just foreclosure courthouse step auctions but also public auctions onsite. 

This post may give you some ideas.
