Looking for a mentor

[Pete Tam]

Hello,

I'm so much interested in Real Estate and want to pursue my career into this field. I'm wondering if someone from this forum ready to guide me basics of RE and what needs to be done to grow myself.
I live in San Jose,CA , working as IT engineer but want to enhance my career in Real Estate.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Welcome to BP Pete.

I posted this in another thread seeking mentors:

It is just difficult to find experienced real estate investors willing to offer their time to help someone they do not even know. I have seen a lot of people look for a mentor this way but I can't say I have ever seen it work and result in a great mentor-mentee relationship. I believe the best way to find a mentor is through building relationships and showing experienced investors that you have the tools to make a good student and can offer them something in return.

Stay active on BP, attend local REIA meetings, and talk to as many people as possible about real estate investing. When they see you are working hard to learn about real estate investing, you will form relationships with investors willing to help you out.

I have never asked for a mentor, but now I have several.
