Looking for a Mentor !

[Adrian Lee]

I am looking to find a mentor in the Toronto area or the Durham region area. I have read plenty of books, posts and also constantly read and learn on the the BP website. I am a young man 22 years old I am very coachable I am looking to learn more and start investing. I will greatly appreciate the help!

Thank you!

Hi @Adrian Lee . While you might get some kind-hearted soul to take you up on a mentorship with this method, a better approach might be to find an experienced real estate investor in your area and offer some of your time (or your own expertise) in exchange for his/her knowledge. Perhaps offer to do some small tasks like scouting deals on the MLS, stuffing envelopes, checking up on / cleaning rental properties or doing some filing/data entry. There are always small things that investors want to do but don't have time to do--think of what that might be (or ask them) and offer to do it for free. Of course it's not really free because while you're there you'll be asking lots of questions and discovering how they operate--that's the mentoring part!

There's a pretty popular real estate investors club in your neck of the woods, you should definitely attend one of the meetings to connect with some successful investors. Google Durham REI and you'll see it.
