Value-add specialist seeks mentor for B. Tech capstone project

Although I've been investing in and improving multifamily properties since 2000, I decided to go back to school and get a Bachelor's Degree in Construction Management from BCIT (I already have my Red Seal in Carpentry). The final part of my degree involves a capstone project, and a requirement of the capstone project is that it be overseen by an industry mentor. For the project I plan on creating a system to address every aspect, step-by-step, of increasing the value of multifamily properties by making improvements that increase each property's net income. Pretty straightforward project but extremely useful for my investing career going forward. 

I am reaching out to see if anyone in my area would be interested in exploring the idea of mentoring me for this project. It typically takes 4 to 6 months to produce on a part-time basis and my intention is that it will be of value to those in the industry, including me and a prospective mentor. I believe the amount of time required from a mentor would be relatively small, but is something for further discussion. I would encourage anyone interested to take a look at my presence on BiggerPockets and LinkedIn and I would love to receive feedback and answer any questions.
