Aspiring Investor seeking guidance

[Corey J Van Zeeland]

Hello - I am an aspiring real estate investor but I'm afraid I'm fallen into the trap of just viewing content / videos over the last year without taking any material action.  I'd like to take the next step but would really appreciate having a resource or a coach to provide guidance or recommendations, at least to get the ball rolling.  Seems likes there's a lot of offerings where people can get mentors but it seems like it could be a trap -- perhaps at a high cost.  Any recommendations or anyone out there that enjoys helping new investors get started, even if its just a few initial conversations ?

Honestly man, if you have just been sitting on the sidelines watching and reading and debating and worrying...a mentor can’t help you.

The videos, books, podcasts that you have consumed have no doubt provided guidance and recommendations on how to get the ball rolling.

And you are right, “real estate investment” is plagued with gurus that will sell you nonsense that you don’t need and won’t help you. But it seems like you may be overly worried about paying for education.

Maybe you need some skin in the game to get you to take action. Most likely though, you will be disappointed to learn that the things you REALLY need to learn to start this business are available to you for free.

BUT BUT BUT, you have to start taking action and doing some of the things you have learned up to this point.

I love helping new investors. As those investors who have called me know very well. However, I love helping new investors that have problems that need to be solved...not theoretical problems that haven’t occurred yet.

And any advice that you should just keep learning is laughable. You yourself said you have been learning for the last year but are stuck in learning mode. You haven’t done anything yet, how much do you really need to know to start?

You don’t need a mentor or someone to answer any substantive real estate questions. The basics on what to do to get started are freely available and are things you likely already know. So from a place of love and caring, Stop asking questions and start taking massive action toward your goals.

But if I’m totally wrong and you really are stuck, let me know and in 10 minutes I can tell you exactly what to do to get started and I don’t sell anything.
