Where do I find a mentor

Brock Michael
Posted

Where are some good places to find a mentor, I'm not hopping into the real estate yet. I'm only 20 and gonna get my own place here within 6 months and I'm working on getting my CDL and just working things like that. So I will be getting into real estate within the next year (hopefully) but before I do I of course want to build a lot of knowledge about it. I've looked into mentors online but I don't want to necessarily pay a bunch of money for someone to speak too. If anyone has any suggestions that would be awesome thanks. I'm specifically interested in the BRRRR method.

Hi Brock, 

1. Keep digging here at BP - check out the BRRR textbook - "Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat" by David Greene, listen to podcasts, connect with others right here.....

2. Join local REI groups via Facebook, MeetUp, etc. - as @Zachary Inman has already mentioned - local knowledge and connections will serve you well.

3. Get rid of consumer debt, save a bunch, get that "place of your own." If that means purchasing a home - all the better. You'll learn a ton just from going through your first buying experience.

3. Don't pay for courses and "mentors online" - you don't even know what you're really wanting to do yet. Be patient, study hard, meet other investors, don't panic, keep it fun - you're 20.
