Maybe it's just me but learning from a computer just doesn't stick that well. I'd know, I've been "trying" to structure a deal for far too long...I HAVE to make this work. I'm hoping there is someone in the area that wouldn't mind me tagging along to experience what you do. I'm eager and willing! It doesn't matter what part of the process you are in, all of my skills in RE investing need sharpening.

I don't have much to offer in return but if you'd like me to bring your coffee, wash your car, fix your iPhone screen, run errands, whatever you need, I would love to connect! I don't expect something for nothing. 

I bet you guys are really busy out there; I would like to be too. If you're too busy to take me up on this offer, I would still love to hear from you. Any advice is helpful! Thanks!

Background: I am wholesaling using a "unique" strategy (using sales skills on the phone rather than email blasting and mass low ball offers) which I've been learning from other investors in Tampa. I've had to learn to come out of my shell and be more social using these techniques (still working on my inner growth). I want to wholesale honestly and legally; "sketchy salesman" need not respond! I would also like to flip houses when I can afford to. If it's investing related, I need to learn it! 

P.S. Speak freely, no advice will hurt my feelings. I've failed again and again; I will take any advice humbly.

    Can we at least have you do some seminars for the "lazy" Millenials we always hear about?  What a great attitude about hard work.  Will definitely reach out on the next project.

    Thanks Ian, that'd be awesome! Let me know what I need to do; I'll do whatever it takes! Unfortunately what you say is true, our generation has had it too easy. Luckily for me, my Dad has always been a good example of hard work and the character it builds. I stand out of the crowd for this reason and know I can be successful. Thank you for taking time out of your day to consider me!

    I live in Winter Park. How about you Chris? I'm willing to make a drive if you would like some company!

    @Cory Shaw Welcome boss, you are at a good place. I would recommend the REIAs. There are a ton of investors to connect with there.

    Second, find REIs on here that you admire and directly contact them. People are generous with their time. I've asked dozens of people out for coffee, drinks, etc. To be honest, these types posts are okay, but your proactive approach of directly contacting someone will yield better results.

    Ian
