Seeking mentor in Memphis, TN area!

My name is Rio, I'm 21 years old and currently seeking a real estate mentor in the Memphis area. I've recently completed coursework at Success Real Estate school and I am currently pursing my license. I am currently developing the blueprint for my real estate LLC and I plan to take the independent route with wholesaling and investing, but I'm not opposed to working under a broker. Anyone out there willing to share their expertise with me will be getting a very motivated and driven student who is willing to listen and learn, and most importantly make us both a lot of money!

Hey @Alderio Burton, it's been my experience that most folks aren't willing to just take you under their wing.  People are generally willing to help on something specific, though.  I've been wholesaling for the last year and I've met / talked to a bunch of folks.  The people I've learned the most from are folks that I had a specific question for.  Asking questions, getting to know folks, building a relationship first is the best way to find yourself a mentor.

Also, have something to offer.  For example, any time someone posts about looking for help in Memphis, or boots on the ground, I introduce myself and offer to help.  I've learned a lot from the people who have taken me up on the offer.

Start doing things and meeting people.  The right person will fall in your lap.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
