Best choice for a mentor?

[Amanda Groover]

My husband and I are anxiously awaiting the refinance of our primary home so we can get started investing with our first deal. My husband is a general contractor and more confident in this field than me, but we both agree having a mentor type figure would really help us. I'm talking about not just finding good deals, but analyzing ARV, getting creative with financing, setting long and short term goals, etc. Where we live, the market seems to be hard to get in to for the price range we'd like. I'm wondering- who do we look to for help? Is this a job that a realtor does? Or a financial advisor? It's hard to decipher because it feels like everyone is just pushing their sales pitch. I'm all for someone working with us and making money but it's hard to distinguish authenticity and I'm not sure who exactly does these things. Eventually we'll be able to do it on our own but some training wheels while we start out would be awesome.
