Locating and selecting a mentor
I am just starting my educational process with regards to real estate investing and as I listen to numerous podcasts the topic of mentors is consistent. Most seasoned successful people in the business recommend finding a local mentor if one is just starting out in the business.
With that I am eager to learn and just as eager to get started with my business. I live outside the Sacramento area in California and am looking for the best strategy for finding a successful, quality and skilled mentor who would be open to supporting me in my investment career.
