Mentors are typically friends or close professionals that have taken a personal interest in your success and well-being, @Douglas Stewart. They offer advice and opinions free of charge with the sole purpose of helping you and with no expectation of getting anything in return. This is generally because they like you. You're not looking for a mentor, Douglas, you want a consultant. Or, in more familiar real estate terms -- a coach. 

I'm not trying to split hairs, but you can't develop a personal relationship by asking on a message board. And, no one will be able to help you when it's clear you are currently unsure of your direction.

My advice would be to attend a few real estate clubs in your area to develop an understanding of your real estate interests and available options. Here are a few in your area. You'll likely meet professionals who sell themselves as coaches (for a fee, of course) as well as others who might simply need some help. What are you good at and what can you offer? Others on this board have offered their skills and time for free, in return for learning. Here's one example. If you're lucky, this could develop into a personal mentoring relationship.
