New to REI looking for a mentor on Long Island

[Aidan James Shouler]

I am a 21 year in suffolk county LI interested in REI investing. I am particularly interested in wholesaling and multi-family investing, but I don't know where to start. I am currently in school while working full time to save up my money to invest. I will be starting a real estate course in August to learn more about the field and get my license. I have been reading a few books and browsing the forums on here trying to figure out where to start. Any advice for someone starting out in REI looking for a mentor?
