New to real estate looking to reach out for mentor
I am in the military. I have 2.5 years left. I want to start real estate investing. Don't where to begin. I am looking for a mentor to help get me started and guide me. I am willing to do mocks be an intern for the next couple years whatever it takes!

Hey Noah!
Thank you for your service!
Finding a mentor is a personal thing and can definitely take some networking in your area to see who is a good fit.
However, because you have a little bit of time in the military and may not have the flexibility to go to meet ups right now, I highly recommend using YouTube to help you learn in the meantime. Its free and full of SO much information. My Fiancé and I have learned almost all that we know using YouTube University. Some really great videos and people that helped us were BiggerPockets (there are a ton of videos/podcasts on there that you can listen to or watch), Pace Morby (he teaches a lot about creative finance and how you can use different tools to invest in real estate), I also really like Wholesaling Inc. (they have a podcast and YouTube videos).
I hope these resources help and if there are any specific areas in Real Estate that you are focusing on and need recommendations I'm happy to help!
Good Luck!
