Looking for mentor

[Dominic Joseph Jean]

Hello, I'm new to the bigger pockets community. I'm looking for a mentor to help me achieve my goals i'm aiming for 100 sober living homes. If you are experienced in real estate I'd love to work with you. 😁

Hey @Dominic Joseph Jean,

100 sober homes is an ambitious and incredible goal! While I don’t personally own sober homes, I do own 21 rental properties (a mix of long-term and short-term rentals) along with an event space/venue in the works. I’ve also flipped properties and, more importantly, mentored over 100 students on how to get started in real estate investing.

One of my past students in New York actually pursued a similar path. He bought land (catskills NY)  specifically to launch and operate a sober living program. He started small, focused on running and optimizing that first location, and then used it as leverage to expand. Over time, he gained traction, began hosting monthly events, and successfully secured state funding and loans to scale his operations.

I’d highly recommend taking a similar approach, start with one well-ran, profitable home, establish a strong foundation, and then use that momentum to acquire and scale additional properties. If you’re looking for guidance on financing, structuring deals, or scaling strategically, I’d be happy to help where I can.

Looking forward to hearing more about your vision!
