Looking for a mentor in Fort Worth Texas

For the past couple of years I have been sitting on the sidelines reading and trying to establish my business. I feel a strong calling for real estate and to help others. Growing up and seeing my parents face foreclosure was really painful and made me realize what I could do to help homeowners facing that same situation. 
I decided to jump into the restaurant industry by buying a small restaurant in December of 2010 and rehabbing it. Without any experience we went from very few customers to having a steady base but I found out that the restaurant biz was not for us so we sold it exactly a year later. It was a great experience and I don't regret it because I learned how to remodel, interact with customers, market and accounting. 
Fast forward to right now, I keep educating myself by reading as much as I can here on BP, attending reia meetings all over dfw and scanning the mls to see how the market in my area is doing. I want to take advantage of this real estate boom to secure a future for my family and help my aging parents retire. I am expecting  a baby boy any time know and I am thrillled about it.
I have a small online business and work from home so it's a great thing that I can raise my son. 
I have everything ready to go for a marketing campaign except I keep putting things up for later for fear of messing up. I am looking for a mentor to shadow and learn from. I am fluent in Spanish and I can be of help in this DFW market. I see great opportunity with the Spanish speaking community. I have also met with homeowners in the past but most had no equity in their homes so i passed those deals. I am eager to jump in and get some wholesale deals under my belt and help out as much as I can. Thanks
