How to find a mentor in Tulsa, OK

[Brian Auman]

I had made a post yesterday about how I can get my financial house in order over the next two years. I revived a great response and I appreciate everyone who reached out.

While I am taking the next two years to get my credit and savings in order I do have a really strong desire to learn the business so when I am able I can pull the trigger on my first deal.

How can I find a mutually beneficial relationship in an industry where I have little to no connection? I would love to follow someone to see how the find deals, negotiate contracts and watch how to finance these deals.

I would prefer a local investor, but I may be willing to reach outside of Tulsa if it was a good relationship.

Thanks!

Hey Brian, 

It looks like you are moving in the right direction.. organizing yourself financially and looking for mentors are both key to set yourself for your first deal. 

In addition, I would pickup a few books and/or listen to podcast on the niche that you are intending to focus on; buy and flip, BRRR, wholesale, foreclosure, etc..(be careful with the shinny object syndrome) in the early stages it may be a good idea to try to connect with lenders to find out about their qualification requirements to make sure you are checking every box.. also connect with insurance companies, realtors, contractors and others in effort to build relationships and don't hesite to go visit properties that you would feel comfortable in buying it.

There is not one way of doing this. We should plan for what works best for ourself. 

The very best luck on this journey.
