Way to get involved in the Real Estate scene?
Hello, I’m located about an hour south of Pocatello, and am looking to get started. Can anyone point me in a good direction for mentorship/ deals/ ideas?

Hey Charles-
What are you looking to get started with ? Wholesaling, fix &flip, buy &hold.....there are a lot of ways to get started in real estate. I think the first thing would be determining what type of investor you want to be and going from there.
Real estate is a cut throat business, so if you are looking for a mentor...you can either pay for one ( I don't recommend this route) or you can make yourself valuable to others who in turn will include you into their real estate circle. Join an REIA and start networking see who the big players are in your area.
Best,
Canesha
