Hello. I'm not following you but your question is on the Q&A section where every member and non-member can read and answer the question. As to the message, it could be legit, but most probably spam. Spammers don't discriminate whether you're a newbie or experienced. You can engage by asking a few questions, but since you're not available to work with anybody anyway, refer the person out or ignore it completely. Best of luck!

I have received something like this in the past. I think since your profile clearly states that you are real estate student. I would delete it and move on.

Yeh, any agent got that messages that translates: I want you to work hard for nothing. Those people do find someone too desparate to work for drops hoping that one day that 'big pay of working with investors'' will come. Good luck.
