16 Year Old In Search of Guidance/Mentor/Advice

[Jack Smith]

I am a 16 year old living in the Milwaukee Wisconsin area, and I have my heart set on pursuing a career in real estate. I have been frustrated recently  because I want to start as soon as possible but have been unsuccessful in my search for an investor in my area who would be willing to mentor me. I’ve spent about three hours sitting in front of my computer trying to think of things  to write about how I had the realization that I was already halfway done through high school and other things such as that, so I apologize if my message is straight forward. I would really appreciate any advice you guys would have or maybe if you even knew someone in my area and referred them towards me would be very appreciated!

Nobody mentors a stranger. You need to meet with investors, build relationships, then demonstrate what you can offer them instead of asking them what they can offer you. If they see you are smart, dedicated, and working hard, they are far more likely to want to help you.
