Paid Mentors? Yay or Nay ???

[Chasity Couch]

Hello everyone! My name is Chasity and I am wanting to start working in real estate, doing wholesale mainly until I start building up my company. I am really needing instruction and hoping to speak with people who know more and can assist me. Well I just was in touch with someone who offered to mentor me for $1,000 a month for a year, she walks me through it all (using her tools & office staff) we split 50/50 each deal. I would love to have someone like this, to help with all of my worries... but 1.) I am starting out and that is a lot for me to come up with 2.) Is this a good rate for a mentor? I'm not sure since I've never done this before.... HELP ????
