Any mentors on Long Island? (offering services in return)

NOTE: This is a replicated post from "Starting Out."  Looking for more exposure.

Hello BP! I'm looking to see if there is an experienced RE investor in Long Island that wouldn't mind sharing some of their expertise. I realize this is something that gets asked a lot and am hesitant to post, however I understand the importance of finding a mentor and am humbly asking for a hand.

I currently work in I.T. and would have no problems offering my services in that arena in exchange. It would only be fair as I know I'm asking someone to invest some of their time and knowledge in me. I could provide consultation, break/fix, malware clean ups, etc. An exchange of computer services for REI knowledge :-)

Thanks in advance for anyone who wouldn't mind helping a new investor!

Regards,

Mike
