Mentor Help in Texas

[Panetrick Gooden]

Good afternoon

I am a 32 year old male in the Grand Prairie Texas area. For those who are not familiar I am in the DFW and I looking into starting a buy and hold as well as flipping of Multi family units and single family units. I am gathering all of my information as well as building up my capital to join in on the fun I was wondering however if I could find a mentor or be able to shadow anyone in the area to start the process because I have heard that experience is the best teacher. I am definitely willing to invest and I am 10000000 percent committed to learn and excel just reaching financial stability goals. I have one potential right now I am just going over the qualifiers and hope to have at least 3 properties in the next 3-4 years. I currently have a full time job but I want that to become a thing of the past and be able to focus on myself and family more. Also I was wondering if anyone knew the process of making your own property management group as I have see that could also benefit me. I am interested in getting my real estate license as well even though I am strictly looking to be an investor. Even if you are not in the area any and all help will be greatly appreciated. I am a very highly motivated person and just need a chance and some help with the process and we will all win!

Thanks for reading that means a lot just for that simple task

Good evening Mr. Gooden.  I, too, am just beginning the process.  Though I do not have a ton of experience in this field from which to draw, I have picked up a few things from B.P. and the B.P. podcast.  One of those things is that when seeking a mentor bring value to the relationship.  Value can range from something as large as a deal to a cup of coffee and an eagerness to learn.  Those that have walked the path you and I are currently beginning are eager to share what they know.  If you do not find a mentor from this post try a key word search for property management companies in your area and contact them directly with the above request paired with a box of donuts and a some coffee when you meet them at their office.  The fact that you offered to shadow your mentor is awesome, and will be even more awesome should you offer a service they may lack.  Identify your strength, be it web design, hustle, capital, connection, or what have you and pair that with your eagerness to model their success.  I wish you well and look forward to hearing of your success as you continue to post on B.P.  God Bless.
