Working with a successful investor

[Rafael Perez]

Good afternoon everyone and Happy Holidays! This may come across as an unusual post but I've come to a tough point in my path to becoming a real estate investor and would greatly appreciate some help/guidance. I come across deals every so often, yet I am stuck on acquiring financing terms that I can qualify for. Like any smart lender, they require experience and significant capital which I do not have. This lead me to the realization that I need to work with/shadow someone who actively invests in real estate full-time. This would give me the proper experience, education, and guidance I need to open the doors to finally pull the trigger on my first deal. I am always reading books, listening to podcasts, and surrounding myself with real estate but I know it does not compare to actual experience. I would be extremely grateful if I can receive advice on finding a successful investor, agent, lender, or any other real estate professional that would be willing to let me shadow or work for them and provide mentorship. I understand that most successful investors do not have the time to mentor or have me around, but I know I can find a way to bring value if connected to the right person. My drive to learn more about real estate constantly grows so anything will help. Thanks in advance!
