Introduction

[Wayne Ferrell]

Hello I'm Wayne, from South Florida but resides in Hampton Roads VA community for over 25yrs. I am prior US Navy, law enforcement, and a striving entrepreneur. I am new to this profession and is currently looking for a real estate investor who would like to share their knowledge in wholesaling, fix & flip, and buy & hold (landlords) to create positive cash flow. I thank you all in advance because I intend to learn something from each and everyone I come in contact with.

Again Thank You

Hey @Wayne Ferrell, welcome to BP!

@Michael S. have all given great advice getting started.

Here are a few more tips:

Start here. You'll get a wealth of REI knowledge and learn how to take full advantage of Bigger Pockets (including how to connect with other local investors).

Listen to the podcasts , get active on the forums & set up key word alerts to be notified when people are discussing topics you're interested in. 

Your desire to be mentored/coached is a great one.  I would strongly suggest spending time educating yourself on the basics with all the great resources you can find on BP.  Get an idea of what area of investing you'd like to focus on, and then seek out a mentor who specializes in that area.  Also, be sure you know what value you bring to the table, aka: how you can help your prospective mentor or coach grow their business and achieve their goals.  

It sounds like you have some great experience, and I'm sure much of it will translate to your investing career. 

I wish you all the best Wayne!
