Does Flipping houses for profit requires a good mentor?

How a great mentor can help you to multiply your success?

Does any one like to share good, bad and ugly experiences  as well as success?

Your feedback will be greatly appreciated.

@Nav Sing Hi Nav. Flipping does not require a good mentor however it does help. Especially if it's one you have a genuine connection too who wants to see you succeed. My wife and I started out without a mentor and needless to say it was a disaster. Not because we did not know the process per say but because we fell for every trick in the book that a shady contractor can throw at you. We spent two years scratching and scrapping to survive the project before we could get it on the market and sold. However we pushed on and got it done along with our other partners. It definitely taught us a lot. But I cannot help but to wonder how it would have gone had we had someone to make sure we were making the right calls. 

My advice...find someone who has experience and pick their brain. Offer them coffee or lunch and just talk shop. It could be very beneficial in the long run.
