New to Real Estate/BP + Looking for advice and connections!

[Paulina L.]

Hi all, 

I'm new to the real estate investing world. I'm very excited and committed to the process! I'm looking for advice on where to find an Accountability Partner and/or a Mentor. I am actively analyzing properties, but I would love to have opinion / second set of eyes from someone who ideally is more seasoned then I am. Any advice on how to find a Mentor?

Thanks!

Hey Paulina, 

Are you currently a Real Estate agent in California? The reason I ask is because with most, if not all brokerages, there is the option to join a team within the brokerage firm that will not only offer you training but also be able to mentor you and keep you accountable. My experience with this is limited to eXp Realty, which I know offers both Mentorship programs and the ability to join a team. 

As far as options that don't involve being a real estate agent that I am aware of, but have no experience with, there are several real estate investing mentorship/coaching programs from the likes of Grant Cardone, Ryan Pineda, Graham Stephan, etc. I'd say if that's the route you're interested in, check out their youtube and social content to see if any of what they say resonates with you, and maybe look into any programs they may have. 

I hope that helps and best of luck 🤝🍀
