REI Newbie in Search of Mentor

Diane Bonheur
Posted

Hi everyone! I'm reaching out in search of a mentor who can provide guidance, share insights, and help me navigate the world of REI.

For the past 8 years, I've been an executive assistant to SVPs and C-Suite executives in the tech, legal, and finance industries...I'm basically Harry Potter when it comes to all things admin, and I am very proud of that fact :D While my time in Corporate America has been fun, I'm tired of making a boatload of money for someone else.

In October, I officially started my investment career, and the timing couldn't have been better because I was laid off 2 weeks ago. Being let go has given me the bandwidth to grow my knowledge-base and focus on building my real estate portfolio. My goal is to strategically build a portfolio with a focus on Section 8 multifamily properties. At some point in the future, I'd like to acquire an apartment complex.

Here's what I bring to the table: 

Strategic Mindset: I've learned to think on my feet—strategic planning, anticipating curveballs, and remaining calm in chaos - my motto

Communication: I'm the clear communicator in the room. Whether it's speaking with investors or calming nervous tenants, I keep things smooth and build amazing relationships.

TIME: I have nothing but time...literally 😅

1 Condo: Even though I'm a novice in the investment world, I'm not starting from scratch. I have 1 condo in my portfolio that was purchased 2 years ago. I didn't intend for it to be an investment property but things change!

If you are an experienced investor who is open to sharing your knowledge and insights, I would be incredibly grateful for the opportunity to connect with you. Whether it's a casual conversation over coffee or virtual meetings, I am flexible and eager to learn from your experiences. 

Just an FYI - I'm based in Rockland County. Thanks!
