Looking for the best opportunities in the Tampa Bay area

I want to start investing in Florida. I'm a new member and would like to apprentice with someone our partner up.

You've already failed lesson #1 on BP. 

Answer me this, why would someone want to work with you? Why would someone want to take their time and show you the ropes? Why would someone want to partner up with you? What do you bring to the table? How can you help me? 

Dont be that guy. Don't be the guy who just comes in asking for help, especially someone who asks for help from 2 simple sentences that are bare bones. GIVE US SOMETHING. Why would you be good to work with? What do you bring to the table? How can you help me help you?

At the very least at least come in asking a question with some meat on it. Something that specific, something you've already done some homework on. That'd be like me coming and asking you out of the blue for 100k just because. It doesn't make sense. You have to make yourself valuable to someone somehow. 

Now that we have that out of the way, welcome to BP and greetings from a fellow Tampa guy. Hope I didn't come off too mean, but I think it holds a lot of truth. Best of luck right now with these crazy times. If you have any good specific questions that you've done some homework on, feel free to ask! Honestly. Cheers!
