How to find a mentor ? For REI
All successful people have a mentor in there field. How do you find one in real estate ? I’m 20 years and im a plumber currently however i really enjoy real estate I been reading books attending seminars ( most of which are a sales pitch ) and I’m curious how to find this mentor. I’m young and I know I want to be a real estate investor what’s next ?

Hey @Sean Beksinski , take this with a grain of salt because I'm a newbie REI and probably don't know what I'm talking about. But, I've lived long enough to know value when I see one. You're a plumber, which I would imagine is a valuable resource to anyone in REI business. Offer your plumbing skills in exchange for mentorship. I would imagine all the REI gurus would gladly take you on.
Cheers,
Casey
