How should I go about finding a good mentor?

Hello everyone, I’m 19 years old and I’ve been researching and reading books on real estate for about two years now. I’ve finally got the courage to take action and I’m currently trying to wholesale to build up capital so I can start to invest in properties that I can buy and hold to produce passive income. I know I’m going to make mistakes, but I would like to minimize those mistakes as much as possible by finding a mentor. Please leave some tips on what I should do.

@Keelan Bell Very impressed that you got started so early - you're ahead of most of us! Keep up the great work and keep taking strides forward. Do you know any wholesalers in your area? If so, find a way to add value to them (this goes for any person you would like as a mentor). Offer to go driving for dollars for the wholesaler for free to learn that side of the business. It will give you good experience as well.

That's just one way, but you could think of a bunch more. Best of luck!
