Houston area flippers

[Jared Anderson]

Hello, let me start out by saying I truly admire what house flippers do. It is what I want to do someday. I say "someday" because right now I'm looking to build a relationship with someone in the Houston area. I will be joining a REI club soon to meet people.

I know that it is rude to ask to learn from someone without offering something in return. I want to learn what is certain investors are looking for so I can go out and hone my skills by helping them find deals. Other than this route, if you are new to REI what is a good way of providing value to an experienced investor?

 I've had people want to shadow our Houston operations and learn about multifamily.  I haven't said 'yes' often but when I have people have offered to just work in the office and answer phones.  Or do showings.  Oversee a project.  One guy did a logo for me (which I still use), etc. 

I'm sure there are skills you can bring.
