Looking for a mentor!-Chicago suburbs Elgin area

Looking for a real estate mentor. I’m 23 have a small pocket of funds and want to start investing in rental property. Looking to use the brrr strategy along with house hacking as I still live with my parents and would like to live on my own someday. Interested in trying to find a duplex ideally a four flat if I could find the right deal and acquire the funds.

Having a mentor to show me the ropes and bounce deals off of would allow me to greatly help build my confidence for my first deal.

Ideally investing within a 20 mile radius of Elgin, IL would be best, but wherever the market is I’m not against going there I just would like to succeed and not fall on my face.

Thanks!

@Nathan Wroten Your signature states you as a contractor.  I always encourage people looking for mentors to bring value to the mentor.  Sometimes it is as free labor or a certain skill set the individual has.  Keep that in mind because anyone you want teaching you what you are looking to learn got to where they are today at thru making sure they have a network of people around them that adds value.
