Hi Carlos, welcome to BiggerPockets! This is for sure a great platform for networking be sure. I like to try to set up every month a meeting with someone I think I can learn from or who could be a potential mentor.
I always come full of questions and ready to learn. Many are specific to the individual that I am meeting with but there are some questions that I have taken from John Maxwells book "Good Leaders Ask Great Questions." You may want to use them too:
1. What is the greatest lesson you have learned? - By asking this question, I seek their wisdom.
2. What are you learning now? - This question allows me to benefit from their passion.
3. How has failure shaped your life? - This question gives insight into their attitude.
4. Who do you know whom I should know? - This allows me to engage with their network.
5. What have you read that I should read? - This question directs my personal growth.
6. What have you done that I should do? - This helps me seek new experiences.
7. How can I add value to you? - This shows my gratitude and desire to add value to them.
These can be a great starting point for you. You can also consult with lenders, brokers and ask them for suggestions on who might be a good real estate mentor most will be able to provide one.
Try to think of different ways you can add value to that person. What are your strengths? For example are you experienced in social media marketing? Could you offer a mentor some tips? This way its not just a one way street.
