Starting out

[Michael Quarles]

As a new investor what are the three main things you look for in a mentor?

Followed up by what you dislike about the whole GURU thing.

And finally... If success were certain would you do what your mentor asked you to do?

assuming you follow instruction what will your life look like if you could make 20k a month

[Chris T.]

In a mentor, I look for someone who has the time to mentor, will provide detailed direction, has relevant techniques for my area, isn't trying to take my money.

I get annoyed with the guru-motivational speaking-hustler types that give you half an answer and make you pay for the next half, any guru that promotes a cruise ship seminar or bootcamp for thousands of dollars, guru's who don't actually invest in real estate for their main source of income, guru's who are regurgitating the same material and selling each other's stuff through affiliate programs, and such.

I would follow my mentor's guidance and direction, master it, then conquer the world.

If I made $20k a month then I would position myself as owner, not owner operator. (Although I don't think I could ever stop doing deals myself because I love it). I would also pay it forward.
