I GENUINELY NEED HELP

Candace Hall

Hi,

Im looking for direction, help, advice, or even someone whose willing to take me under their wing. Anything helps!

I have inherited land and property which is free and clear. So I decided 9 months ago that I'd get into Real Estate Wholesaling to educate myself about RE and also earn money to demolish the property that sits upon the land.

Its not as easy since the home has Asbestos on the home, and most companies are asking for 10k as the starting rate.

So, I figured I'd challenge myself and grow within the business. I found out I have a great passion for the field.

So, I'm in no rush because I know theres still soo much to learn. But I would really appreciate someone whose got a heart to guide me in the process.

Im going back and forth on trying to find someone to fund the project so that I could possibly place a multifamily home or apartment complex on the land after the home is demolished.

So as you see there is a lot that goes into this. But I can't and I will never stop trying to find the answers I'm seeking.

Please no rude comments or remarks. Everyone had to start somewhere. And this is my starting place. Thank you.

@Candace Hall you've been bitten by the bug! If you've got the drive, you can figure this out and build wealth to last a lifetime.

You should really look for an investor in your area that can mentor you. It will work best if you have something to offer in return. If you approach someone and just ask them to teach you, they'll likely ignore you. If you approach someone and offer to help them with XYZ, then they will see you're serious and are far more likely to help you or find someone that can help you. I've heard of successful investors starting out by sweeping up at job sites, picking up materials at Home Depot and delivering to a flip site, helping with direct mail marketing, cold calls, getting coffee, running numbers, or whatever. 

Get involved with as many investor groups as you can. Meet people. If you're able to talk without slobbering, demonstrate an IQ above 100, and have something to contribute, you'll find someone to take you on.

Go to NETWORK at the top of your screen and you can search for other investors and investment groups in your area. You can also check meetup.com or search facebook for real estate investment groups, clubs, or meetings in your area.
