Looking for a mentor in the Harford County, PG County areas. Looking to build a friendship with a mentor that has been in the business at least 15 years. I am motivated just need a little direction. USMC veteran, so I can follow instruction very well. I started out with Fortune Builders, Jumpstart program for 3k. (what a joke) I have most of the basic tools, I'm new to being an Entrepenuer/Business Owner. I'm getting leads here and there but just really need help to get my systems in place. If you're out there, and would love to share your Real Estate knowledge with a youthfull investor, to guide me and put me under your wing, please let me know. I don't have much money, so I just need help in how to utilize the little bit I do have in the right places.
Thank You in advance!

A lot of "I's" and not enough "You's" in your proposition there.

Find what value (time, money, sweat equity, etc.) you bring to a mentor and focus on that. Don't focus on what you want cause no one cares about what you want.

Also, I would rethink the 15 year experience requirement. I know a handful of successful investors who have been in the game for less than 5 years.
