Looking for a Mentor

[Jason Lauver]

I am a newcomer to the real estate industry with a keen interest in wholesaling properties. While I have absorbed a significant amount of educational content, I have yet to witness a wholesale deal from start to finish. I am seeking a mentor who can provide guidance and share their expertise.

I currently have a property opportunity at hand, courtesy of a friend who is not in immediate need of funds. This situation presents an excellent chance for me to gain practical experience and establish myself in the real estate market.

I want to use the capital I gain from this to dive deeper into the game. Can anyone help me out?

I don't often see people have much luck getting a mentor by broadly asking for one in the forums. Put yourself in the shoes of the ideal person you want to help you. What would make them want to reach out to you to help you?

If I were you I'd start going to local meetups to meet people and build these relationships organically. If you want something, give something. See what the investors you want to help you need and start providing it. Maybe you can mow their properties lawns, or clean some gutters. Maybe you can help draft leases, or help them find off market deals.

The point I'm trying to make is don't ask for something for nothing. Provide value and have a mentality of wanting to help others and people will naturally flock to you and want to help you succeed.
