Tips on finding a mentor?

[Brennan Boyd]

Does anyone have any tips for finding a mentor? I am still a year or two from purchasing my first REI property; but I just wanted to reach out to the BP community to see if anyone had success finding an investor that they didn't know personally beforehand. I've heard in order to find a mentor, it's always best that I offer something in return to the mentor (working for free, bird dogging, etc.) Thanks for your feedback in advance!
