Im new to this site. I've spoken to quite a few people already. Im in need of a mentor to lead me in the right direction in starting out. Strongly interested in rental properties and wholesaling.

@Nicole Wylie welcome to the site and congrats on taking the first step to what I hope for you is a successful and lucrative real estate investing career/side biz! 

GOOD NEWS: You are definitely in the right place - and there are amazing people on this site that can probably mentor you and provide you with what you need.

BAD NEWS: The mentors you are seeking are for the most part very busy and/or are receiving many similar requests to you from other people.

POSSIBLE SOLUTION: Look on BP for someone in your area that you would like to mentor you and find a way to help them in their business in return for mentoring you. (Think two-way street, most people cannot spend their day helping everyone else out.) Internalize your skill-set and what you are naturally good at and offer that to a real estate investor to help in their business (or another aspect of their life). Many times if it can help them they would be happy to reciprocate: Some examples would be marketing, website building (SEO, PPC), fielding calls from motivated sellers, bookkeeping, or maybe it's something personal that you can help with. Other examples, are bird-dog, drive for dollars, door-knock, cold-call, etc., which might be very helpful for investors and will gladly mentor you in return. 

I know this is not a get rich quick solution - and it actually might be a get rich long solution - but I hope it's somewhat helpful, and will get you rich! 

Best of luck.
