How to find a great mentor

Something you should consider if you are looking for a Real Estate Mentor...

Most Great Real Estate mentors are investors. They haven’t got to where they are by just giving everything away. That being said, you are far more likely to find a mentor who is willing to INVEST her/his time in you as opposed to GIVING her/his time to you.

So, what’s the difference?....

If someone allocates time towards teaching you about REI and you end up not being dedicated and never pursue it any further, the time they spent on you has just become time that was GIVEN away! Which usually means they just wasted "X" amount of time on you.

On the other hand, if you can demonstrate dedication, commitment and a serious pursuit of your goals, the time a mentor spends with you becomes an INVESTMENT in your future. Again, there are tons of great mentors who are excited to invest in you and your future.

Finding a great mentor isn’t difficult and doesn’t require spending a ton of money. Mentors are always near, paying attention, and watching your actions. If you are having trouble finding a mentor maybe it’s time you take a lot at your actions and see how they align with your life goals. 🤔

Agree? Disagree? Anything you would add?
