Possible Mentor?
I was browsing Craigslist when I came across an ad about Real Estate Mentoring. I spoke with the person on the phone and did some research on Google for reviews. I did not see any reviews, but my findings concluded that the person who posted the ad was a legitimate real estate investor. HIs program consists of continuous learning of any area of REI, he'll walk me through deals step-by-step, and he's assessable whenever I need him.
When he and I spoke on the phone he said he is a nationwide mentor and his fee was a one-time payment of $200 through PayPal. Since PayPal is a legitimate e-currency I felt a little more comfortable about his mentorship program.
What other steps should I make to ensure that I am not being scammed and so I am covered on my end?
