What's the best way to find a mentor??

Hello All, 

I am a rather new investor. I own 1 single-family residence that I am renting out and have also invested in Open Door Capital on their Cheval deal. I am looking at getting more serious about real estate and am looking for some advice on how best to find a mentor. 

My main goal is to build my real estate portfolio to generate enough passive income that I can quit my 9-5 and dedicate more time to RE investing. Any tips on how to find a good mentor would be highly appreciated. I am willing to work for free to be able to learn the business in my free time outside of my 9-5.

Thanks!

@Charles E. Bruckman, welcome to BP! Both @Abel Curiel and @Robert Williams make great points.  I have always heard this reiterated many times and will echo it: give the mentor something worth their while.  Is it finding them deals? Maybe you're great with digital design, or marketing, or personal outreach - it could be anything.  Have something you can offer of value back to them!
