I don't have any money. Is there anyone in Columbus that could meet with me and give me some advice on where to start? Thanks!

Good evening Mark, I think the best thing to do at this stage is educate yourself; read the free e-books, listen to the podcasts, stay active on these forums, attend REIA meet-ups, THEN reach out to local investors. Offer to help them with their marketing, follow-ups, or whatever they need... The main thing here is to add value. Best of luck to you! -Abel

    I agree with what Abel said. Look at it from the eyes of the investor . They are busy with their own business, don't know you, why should they stop and help? Not trying to be harsh. What exactly do you need help with? What part of rehabbing? Marketing ? Contractors? Etc.good luck BP is a great resource once you figure out exactly what you need

     Adam nailed it!  It's not harsh it's the truth.  I get requests every week from people who have never done a deal to "pick my brain".  It's true that this is a waste of my time unless they have some skill or asset that would be valuable to me, or if they are established and we can learn from each other.
