Long Distance Mentoring
After pouring over hours and hours of videos, books and "step by step" learning material I've come to the conclusion that my education in commercial real estate has a lot of gaps. It's time for a mentor, but how? Unlike people in the states I am on an opposing schedule of the normal 9-5pm, limited phone functionality, currently deployed to Afghanistan, and work 12 hour days 6 days a week. Any tips on how to find and work with a mentor in my situation? Or some recommendations for reading material that gets into the fine details of contracts, direct mail campaigns, working with title companies, etc.? Thanks for your time.

Thanks for the feedback Mike. You're right, it's pretty tribal out here and I'm uncertain on the local mud hut markets ability to cash flow. I'll definitely look into turnkey properties but it seems there wouldn't be much forced appreciation in that scenario? Of course I could be totally off on that. No matter what I'll keep studying and learning until the opportunity to work with someone much wiser than myself arises.
