Newbie looking for knowledge
Basically I just graduated from Clemson University and a few months ago I realized I don't want to work for money, I want money to work for me. I heard about wholesaling and REI, and even spent last semester completing my capstone research project on REI. I've started reading books, I've watched youtube videos, and I've listened to BiggerPockets podcast. While all of these are good, I want real world experience and am willing to work for this experience and knowledge. Honestly money right now is the least important thing for me. Since I'm not allowed to ask for a mentor on here, I would like to know to how to find a mentor or even someone to just shadow.

Hey Kyle!
Welcome to the world of real estate investing! You are on the right path for sure by investing in real assets that generate income and allow your money to work for you. Just build your knowledge by listening to podcasts and keep plugging away. I've done this and have become financially independent through building an e-commerce business and investing the profits. Now I just enjoy helping others do the same.
Take care and best of luck!
