Newbie needs a mentor
I am 21 years old, and have always been obsessed with real estate as it has been a passion of mine since I was young. I am currently getting my business degree, and plan to get my real estate license at the end of summer. I am also hoping to start investing in small multifamily homes in my area soon.
I have watched a lot of videos, podcasts, read tons of books, and websites, forums, just a multitude of different sources of information for years, but I still have tons of questions. I would love to find someone on here that I could connect with regularly that could talk with me, answer questions I have when they come up, and just give me a little guidance through their own experiences. If I could find someone in New York, that would be ideal.

Hi Brandon Bellino BP is a great place to research and ask questions. As for getting a mentor, I recommend you attend your local REIA. There you'll find investors in your market and you might be able to find someone willing to mentor you.
Every relationship is give and take so be willing to offer something to a potential mentor in exchange to learn.
For ex, you could ask them what they need help with in the business? Then do that and then ask for them to help you with a mentorship.
