Finding a mentor and networking

[Eric Stugart]

I am very new to real estate investing. I am currently reading Brandon Turner’s book about investing in rental properties and I am learning a lot. Something that I keep coming across is networking, finding a mentor, etc. To be quite honest I am worried about networking and finding a mentor because I am nervous I am going to get swindled or get pushed into doing something I do not want to do. I do want to go to local meet ups and meet experienced real estate investors I’m just not sure what to expect and I’m nervous about it. If there is any advice anyone can provide I would greatly appreciate it, thank you.
