Hey guys in my current life I've been a software engineer for around 20 years. I know nothing at all about real estate but thinking of getting in as a gator. Anyone looking for an apprentice?

Doesn’t it have something to do with the Pace Morby idea of lending money to people with no money fro EMD?
