I have very similar goals and I definitely feel like networking is the only way to get it done. I would be happy to connect, as I do fix and flips as well as wholesaling. I am in the process of creating my own fund for my investment activity and plan to raise 5M by next year. I am always looking to learn and do deals with likeminded people!

I have been on the same journey trying to automate my businesses. Definitely E-myth but taking it a step further you may want to pay for the E myth business coaching. There is a ton of real estate automation stuff out there. I recommend looking into coaching or some REI automation courses. Connect with me and I would be happy to brainstorm and share ideas. That is my number one goal this year.

I also think setting up as the lender is a better scenario. I actually had an experience where my dad worked for my company as my sales person. It felt a bit weird at times but I realized he was really playing a role to help my company at the time. We had numerous discussions about commissions and we ended up with a good working relationship. I think because you know your dad better than anyone else, that could help you determine the structure of the business partnership. It's obviously a business so it has to be clearly separated from personal emotions but risk level should be considered based on your current relationship in my opinion. At the least set up a self directed ira account and be his private money lender so you create guidelines to your preferences and control the risk by lending on secured notes on each property. Then you have a tax free benefit and he gets profits to buy his rentals

I would say from experience it all starts in the mind. You have to constantly feed your brain with the best information. It's definitely true that knowledge is power. Yes I believe the best way to rid the 9-5 is to develop a real estate business. It doesn't really matter how much money you have to start honestly. It's more about how bad you want it and are you willing to spend time reading or listening to tons of books on real estate. Then once you equip yourself with the knowledge it's time to execute execute execute. If you don't get out there and attempt to do a deal then you won't get anywhere. Get on amazon and read all the books you can on kindle which is cheaper and faster. Of course bp has plenty info. Get a cheap course like the 10hour wholesaler and just try those techniques and see what happens... if you do enough networking as well as looking for deals in your hometown maybe driving for dollars, you will eventually get a deal done. There is no magical way it's just knowledge and execution coupled with timing..

I have found a few sources that I am trying out to build the company credit. Look into business credit approved and check their program out. Also seed capital. They give you access to my company core.com

This is great but I would like to get my hands on a sample operating and procedures manual to help systematize my business

I would recommend scouting through and picking agents in the areas you are looking to invest in. Mainly because they know the local market better than anybody else that is not a seasoned investor in the area. You will need to find the one that is friendly and actually has time to give you the information you want. If not move on there is plenty to choose from. Also local REI networking groups will guide you to people. If you really want to get down to cornering the market I would recommend a program like Brad sides who I saw at a REI event.

Hey Brad I am looking to partner with some good people in Dallas to do wholesaling and flips. Let's get in touch and I will show you what I am doing in my market that I want to expand to Texas.

Hello, I am Actually looking to partner with someone in the Chicago area on wholesaling and flips. Feel free to reach out and I can help you turn some deals into cash!

I would say the best thing you can do is use that to clean up any thing that could be on your credit and go through the program www.seedcapital.com program to get funds for real estate. It changed the game for me...
