@Idaly Barrera How does this sound?  You the experienced investor take time out of your busy, and take me under your wing.  Spend your time teaching me everything you know, and if you happen to help me find a deal, and help me close on it, I will give you half the profit.  What is wrong with this picture?  

You are not the first nor the last new investor that is looking at what is in  it for you.  The experienced investor does not need YOU!  What you need to ask is what can you do to help out the investor, and you can hope for guidance, direction and words of wisdom, and if you are lucky some scraps of the profit.  Many of us have been around the block and have either spent many 100s of hours, 10s of thousands of dollars on mentoring, or both, to get where they are.  Why would you insult them by saying that you will give them half, when they rightfully earned it all.

There are thousands of new investors that want to be mentored.  Act like you are ready by offering your services to someone that is doing what you want to learn.  Don't insult them by offering something that is not yours to give.

Nothing personal.
