Finding A Mentor

[David Battle]

Hey Guys,

How do you find a good mentor? I've been finding it quite difficult to find one here in my new city. I'm really looking for an investment company to work for part time. Any advice? 

Thank You

I actually met my mentor a couple years back, at that time though I had no interest in RE though.

I answered an online post on Craigslist for a "sign runner" trying to get buyers for a new home community. To me, it was just some extra side cash in my pocket. At that time I had no interest in RE at all. So I went through the motions and placed signs for said guy, not really knowing and realizing that placing bandit signs is an art, I will say that again, it is an ART. (at least the way I do it..).

Long story short...NO CALLS came in from me placing these signs, I am sure said guy was really PO'd. So that job ended pretty quickly.

Come about 5 months ago, said guy contacted me out of the blue (it had been 2 years!) and wanted me to do some sign placement work for him again (this is a few months after turning my mind, body and soul to RE). Since I was willing to do whatever it took to learn about RE I once again placed signs with much better results. Come to find out said guy is EXTREMELY brilliant and knows quite alot about RE. It just naturally grew into a mutually beneficial relationship.

We are now 50/50 business partners as well. We each bring something unique to the relationship.
