Question

a search for investors!?
if I placed ads in several news papers would I likely get at least one person willing to give me money to invest?

the add would be some thing like this

20 year old student seeks investor to be real estate partner. I do work you bring money. 45%(me)/50%(you) big projects will be 50/50
(my phone number)


what do you think?

I live in Oregon so I was thinking the Oregonian, what ever the Washington equivalent is and my home town paper.

I need an investor because I don’t think I can get any government programs for what I want, and none of my friends or family have the money to spare.


i have no credit (yeah 0 no good no bad) and no job (full time student) all i do it work out, go to my college classes and eat so i have time to invest just no money...

Answer 1

I applaud your ambition. However...

You, my friend, unfortunately bring very little to the table that an investor wouldn't have - except time. You've got no money, no experience, no credit, no connections and not business savvy to know that this structure is... if you pardon my bluntness... ludicrous. I wouldn't advise putting an ad in the paper as it would be a waste of money.

I would recommend training for a real estate position, title insurance, mortgage company, property management or property development if you are serious about property. Someone will teach you the REAL property game with somebody else's equity and give you a salary too.

Your chance of getting a 50/50 partnership is about zero. Why would somebody trade their equity position for you because you work. You are better off getting a job related to property so that you can learn the ropes.
