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.
Hi @Jared Anderson I'm in the middle of a few flips now. I think Mitch is giving good advice. If you brought a flipper a deal and split it with them, your contribution being finding the deal, that would be my best suggestion for how to get started.
