Murrieta/Temecula Area Newbie Seeking Mentor

Stephen Bagnani

Posted

I have a great list of material to read through, and I am going to look into which real estate school is best in my area, but I think the most valuable need for me would be a mentor, someone I can learn from with real-world experience, and real-time feedback. I would like to buy someone lunch and sit down and at least talk.

I am just starting, and my credit is on the up-and-up and I am coming into about 10k within the next couple of months. This is my opportunity to break into REI. I want to do it right. 90% of the advice on here is Networking and mentors, so I want to start connecting with people right away. Then my next major decision is what niche to zero-in on (And I don't even know all of the different ways to make money off REI yet). My goals for the short to mid-term would be quit my job and at least reach cashflow that covers all my life-expenses. At that point I would see what strategies would work best for a full-time investor to continue and increase my portfolio.

Until then, know I am binge watching podcasts and reading through the site.
