Did you find a mentor or become one through BP?
First let me state that I enjoy and have grown a lot from posts , webinars and info on BP. I am curious to know though how many here have actually mentored another or been mentored. So many here want to begin in RE, and ask about " how do I do A, B, or C". Have you mentored or been mentored? I define mentoring as someone that takes another " under their wing and helps them learn from their own knowledge and experience.".

Hi Christine, the information here on BP is great, but having a local mentor is as important if not better. You need someone local to go over deals walk projects when necessary and a one on one relationship.
The majority of investors need a little hand holding. Even the experience ones need a sounding board so you don't run your train off the tracks. Mentoring is awesome when you can help someone because we all remember putting that first deal together and the infamous statement "Is this a good deal".
Good Luck.
