Real Estate Mentors..

[Jake K.]

I am just beginning real estate investing, i have been reading, and learning for about 3 months and have done some minor marketing for deals, have gone to a number of REIA's also, made some connections, but haven't gotten any deals yet. I realize that I am spinning my wheels because I desperately need DIRECTION from a MENTOR! a big problem is, is that I don't really have $ to spend on it. I see these local mentorship programs charge many $1000's to join, upfront! I would be more than willing to give up at least 50% (even 75%) of the profit on any deals I would generate in exchange for hands on guidance from a mentor..Anyone have advice for me?? Or does anyone know of someone in the Baltimore,MD area who would be willing to guide me? Thanks so much!!
