Looking for a Company/Coach/Mentor/Group

[Account Closed]

Hi Everyone,

I know I'm new here as far as posting, however I've been looking over your shoulder reading the forums for quite some time now, I've also watched the majority of the BP podcast episodes.

I am looking to get much more involved in real estate and really focus on transitioning my career into that direction. I recently moved to Atlanta, well I've been here about a year but haven't made a ton of outside-of-work connections. I actually have a genuine interest in real estate, I'm constantly checking the market just for fun, and was heavily involved in real estate club in college. Despite that, I never really considered real estate as a career for myself. At this point I have decided that it is essential I develop an additional stream of income, and why not start taking real estate very seriously. 

Ideally at this point, I would like to start investing - purchase a property/make some deals. I also am going to go ahead and become a licensed agent. 

For the time being at least I would like to stay in my current career, however at my job I only need to dedicate about 30 hours a week toward work. Call me ambitious but I could stack on an additional 30 hours of additional work (especially if its providing me with a great extra income). I was wondering if somebody local could recommend a real estate broker in the Atlanta area that would provide quality training that I could work with part time? Perhaps you're an investor in Atlanta, looking to take somebody new (but very sharp) under your wing and split some deals with? Maybe you're part of a local investment group willing to take me in? Or perhaps you're somebody not even in Atlanta, but want to exchange numbers and work on some deals with me. I can promise, anyone that is willing to help me get started and will answer my questions, I will prove to be an extremely valuable asset to you in the long term. Send me any advice you may have! Thanks.
