How To Find A Mentor

[Michael DiGiovanni]

Hi Everyone, My name is Michael DiGiovanni. I'm 20 years old and a student at the University of Washington. I've always had an entrepreneurial spirit and interest in real estate. However, I've realized that the best way to success in real estate is to surround myself with like-minded, older, and wiser individuals to learn from. Ultimately, my short-term goals are to earn an income utilizing creative real estate funding strategies to help pay off my tuition and student loans. My long term goal is to continue pursuing my passion for real estate through apartment complex investing and commercial real estate development. After that long introduction, my question for the BP community would be how to go about finding a reputable, experienced, successful, and honest mentor? I've been burned hard in the past, unfortunately. Ultimately, I desire to surround myself with like-minded individuals -- even if it means working for them for free in exchange for knowledge and advice. Thank you all in advance for your suggestions!
