Beginner Looking for Mentors

[Grozie Thomas]

So I made a post earlier and now I’ve come to realize I will need a mentor to help me with the beginning of my journey. I have the funds, the credit, the time, and patience. Just need the guidance. I’m waiting to purchase my first multi family property to rent out and invest in other properties. Any investors and coaches on here that are taking in new people? Or any recommendations? I’m ready to start! Located in DFW Texas

Go to local meetups and meet people. Networking is key. There are also paid mentorship programs, but you should be able to find someone local and chat them up and go from there.

Agreed meet as many people face to face as you can, especially those that are like minded and doing what you want to do. See if there's a way you can help them and tell them what that would be, it will be much harder to get support if you just ask for their time, but it's definitely still doable. 

What are you hoping to accomplish? If you are just starting out you can look into househacking, in which case you just need a great agent and lender to walk you through everything.

@Grozie Thomas, nice to meet you.

Yes, as mentioned above, networking is key, but in this day and age, putting up the time and effort to meet real people on the ground is definitely great but takes too long. We can do better ;-) We all have the tools to find each other for free - at our fingertips. Use them.

What are you trying to achieve more explicitly?
What level of knowledge do you have so far?
What are your expectations for a mentor and what can you offer them?
Bartering? JV Equity? Cash? Hybrid?

Hit me up here (slow) and on LinkedIn (fast) :-)

Cheers, Ken 😎

Well I’m trying to achieve a successful business managing multi family properties. I have little knowledge in the industry and expect guidance of steps to make( do I need any licenses, or an llc? What should I look at for to not end up in a bad situation? Etc)

The way I have found mentors is by going to local real estate meetups. Investors love seeing young people get after it. Just be genuine and see how you can add value for them.

@Grozie Thomas start with reading topic relevant blogs here on BiggerPockets alongside watching YouTube videos. There is a lot of free content to consume before you spend a dime on licenses or incorporation fees. It takes time to learn and process and take small action steps.
