Hello @Carlos Lopez

Welcome to BP community! How much do you know about flipping, multi family investment and wholesale deals? 

Hello Carlos If you have more then enough knowledge already about these three things then yes you're absolutely ready for the mentor so you can take start taking massive actions towards REI goals and career. If not so sure about flipping or multi family investment then you should self-educate yourself first watch as many as podcasts you can on flipping and single family homes investments and read books on flipping and RE investments then find a mentor once you have the knowledge and know the area you need the most help with. so your mentor can understand you and your perspective towards your REI goals better. if you have any questions feel free to ask away. lots of great folks on BP who would love to help.
