How do you find a mentor?

[Ronnie Galindo]

Good afternoon all!

My wife and I have been interested in RE investing for some time but have stopped ourselves due to the overwhelming fear that comes with going into the unknown. We both have very stable jobs and make roughly $200k per year. We are living well but.... we live in Northern California so $200k really doesn't cut it. Plus we just had a baby girl 4 months ago so speaking with a financial advisor about how to set ourselves and our daughter Alice up for the future has pushed us head first into getting into RE. 

I became a PRO member a few weeks ago and have been watching the replay webinars and listening to the BP podcast as I drive. My wife does the same. Problem is.... Where do you start?! Listening to Brandon and David, they always mention speaking with their mentors or mention getting a mentor that can help you throughout your RE investing ventures. Problem is, where do you find such people?! We own our own home and are looking to do a HELOC to get some capital to use to purchase our first investment property. We are looking to do multifamily buy and holds that need a little rehab (BRRR strategy) so we can refinance and pay back our HELOC then move to the next. We are not looking to quit our jobs at this current time, though I would love to retire from them in 10 years and explore the world.

Anyone have advice for us or how to find a mentor in these Covid times?

Thank you all!
