Would love to find an REI mentor in my area (Raleigh, NC)

[Matthew Hetrick]

For the past couple years, I have been financially positioning myself to get into real estate (ex. paying off student loans, increasing my earned income, lowering living expenses, etc.) and am now at a point where I need to take action. 

I would love the opportunity to work with an experienced investor in my area (Raleigh, NC) and am eager to learn how I could give back to them in return. I'm new to the area and quarantine has limited my ability to network face-to-face, so I've decided to take to BP!

Does anyone have suggestions on how to meet a mentor? Or even better, if you are in my area and have a few years of experience with buy-and-hold rental properties, perhaps we could meet for lunch or coffee?

Any suggestions you may have would be helpful! Thank you in advance.
