My goal over the next few months is to increase my knowledge of the investing side of the business and get my feet wet with a few deals.

His company owns approximately 10 million square feet in commercial office space and also does third party management for another 8 million square feet.

In the past, I've paid about $1.50 per square foot.

That's like saying by having a "no shirt, no shoes, no service" sign you are discriminating against people with no feet.

We need to compensate for that by learning, networking, and jumping in feet first once we have that knowledge base and a few key networked people involved.

That was a generous offer on his part.How many bedrooms/bathrooms/square feet?  

you mentioned the lack of forced appreciation as a negative aspect of SFR investing but as long as the build cost is less than the sales/ square ft you could always add ft 2 to the property to capture additional equity.

looking to see if anyone can suggest an inexpensive Wholesaling Real Estate Mentor/Program that is moderately priced, or just a mentor that would be willing to take me under their wing. im willing to work for free, just trying to learn, help any way i can, and get my feet wet. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. oh, and is there any mentorship programs i should stay away from?

Its as if the city management really thought they could save their extravagant pay and entitlement packages by further taxing the over taxed people who were already "voting with their feet" And got out while they could still afford to.

I want to start by wholesaling just to get my feet wet, establish relationships and build capital and eventually buy and hold.
