Newbie looking for mentor

Ariel Ramira
Posted

Looking for a mentor to help me get started. I am interested in purchasing a multi family home in an out of state market that’s better than where I live (Oregon/washington). 

I have the financing but not the knowledge on how to pick a city and get started with an investment. Would be willing to pay a mentor to help me through this process.

I don't see people have much luck asking for someone to mentor them in the forums. It's a big ask of someone to take time from their life and investing journey to teach a stranger the skills they acquired, granted you are willing to compensate someone.

I recommend a more organic approach of meeting other local investors, genuinely taking an interest in what they're doing, and genuinely trying to help them succeed. If you do that people will naturally flock to you wanting to help / mentor you.

Educate yourself through books, podcast, these forums, and meeting folks at local meetups and you may find out that you didn't really need a mentor, but rather knowledge.
