Hello BP members, my name is Carl and I'm really interested in getting into real estate investing.

I was told the best way to learn about investing is to get a mentor.

My question is how do I go about finding a mentor and can someone recommend any??

@Carl Lewis

Decide which kind of investor you want to be (SFR, Commercial, Land, Tax Liens, HML, Multi-Family, Notes, Fix & Flip, Buy & Hold, "Subject To", apartments, duplexes, assisted living, REOs, Foreclosures, Short Sales), etc.. Decide how much money you have access to, & the zip codes, city or state you want to focus on. That will determine the next step. Outline where you want to be in five years. Put it all in writing. Start working your plan. There are plenty of people around to help you each step of the way.
