North Dallas/Plano mentor needed

Good evening BP community!

Through out my experience in the military, getting a degree in biology, fatherhood, and working as a pharmacy technician, I never thought that I would end up on the verge of flipping houses! I submerged myself in reading The book on Flipping Houses by J. Scott as well as many of the podcasts here on BP specifically the creative/zero-money-down financing. I am incredibly motivated to hit the ground running but have run into some road blocks. I attempted to contact a hard money lender whom told me that they only lend to companies. So I began looking into forming an LLC. This is where I got bogged down and buried myself in questions.

I do not foresee this is the only step where questions will arise as I have a VERY inquisitive personality and strong desire to learn the correct way to do things. So, I am interested in reaching out and meeting with someone in the north Dallas (ish) area that could mentor me or allow me to shadow them during a house flip. I tend to catch on to new information quickly, but with there being so much involved in real estate and so many potential wrong turns, I would like to see success up close before I mess up TOO bad. 

So if anyone knows of any real estate investors with experience flipping houses that would be potentially open to me shadowing them, please let me know!

Thank you all and have a good evening!
