Mentor that isn’t trying to sell me their course or program

Wondering if there’s a way to get a mentor without having to buy a course. 

Has anyone had success with the “buy my $5,000 course for only $2,000” people? Is this the way to go?


I’d like to get my first deal done with an experienced investor that I can ask questions to. 

Also, make a first deal with the intention of scaling. 

I’m a drummer by profession so maybe this is like asking me for free drum lessons? 

Maybe it would be worth it to someone to trade?


I feel like I’m soo close to my first deal. I analyze properties everyday. I have a pre-approval letter, I’ve already bought two primary residences, so I’ve been through the process. 

I just want to do this right and continue and grow.

@Maxwell MacVeety

Go to

Local reia events and find the people who are actually doing what you want to do. Most gurus only teach and do some real estate on the side.

Make sure to ask yourself what you bring to the table - how can you help them? If you can add value to someone then they will be more inclined to work with you.

Think of it as a job, where you should get paid / worst case you are a free intern
