As a licensee I am required to take Continuing Education classes on Fair Housing updates every cycle, so that is my main source of information.

To sum it up: instead of trying to find a mentor right now (when you're still relatively inexperienced and probably unsure of your skills/goals), it may be better to learn as much as possible from as many different sources as possible, and get as many REI-related experiences as possible, so that in a few years if you decide you still want a mentor, you'll have a much better sense of what type of mentor matches you best.

Many clients hold back out of concern that questioning a service providers approach may seem disrespectful, but thoughtful inquiry is a critical component of diligence and personal education/growth.

I’m Amelia Garcia, and I specialize in real estate data research and lead sourcing.

I work with a few private capital sources who finance Wisconsin investors (Milwaukee included) on both flips and long-term holds.

Having reserves set aside is critical for protecting the asset’s long-term performance.

Bonus points if you can share the source of the law or ordinance (e.g., Cleveland City Code or ORC section) where you found this information!

Definitely interested in connecting with experienced local investors and brokers as I continue sourcing opportunities.Hi Nancy, Brian and I look into deals together with our Co investing club.

If someone is just getting started in fix-and-flip, what’s your best advice for securing their first funding source?
