Any Advice on Finding Local Real Estate Mentors?

[Russell Best]

I'm entering my senior year of college and want to get into REI.

It’s easy to read books and understand concepts, but making a plan and working at it is a little more complicated.

Does anyone have any advice on finding someone local to work under for valuable real estate experience? Or how to get started in general?

Best way to find a mentor is to make yourself valuable. What can you add to an investor’s business? Maybe that’s finding off market deals, putting out signs, etc.

If you can’t find a mentor, be your own. You honestly learn the most by just doing. Things won’t work, you’ll get discouraged but the key is consistency. All it takes to get started in real estate is hustle. You can find the money , the deals, partners, it all depends on how hard you work at the business.

Hope this helps.
