Mentor/Advice for an aspiring professional
Just graduated college in December and decided I want to start 2023 on the right note. Jumping both feet into Real Estate since I've always been passionate about it. Currently, I'm working towards getting my real estate license to become an agent. I know the market has its ups and its downs. What is your advice for a beginner? Also, I'm looking for a mentor that would kind of "show me the ropes" if you will. I have a great feeling this will be a great year!

don't look for a mentor.
just go to REIA meetings and conferences. network, talk to everyone, ask questions, make friends.
