Anyone interested in mentoring/guiding me in REI here in the San Diego area. I am eager to learn and willing to invest my time and energy to not only succeed in REI but to help you out if needed.

@Jerry Niuatoa With the market the way it is in CA, investors are having a really hard time finding cheap properties to buy (I know I am!). If your sole focus is helping an investor find deals and make them great money, you'll get some great deal experience in a challenging market and have a mentor for life. You can use this mentor to create a system for your own investing along the way. 

I will also say though that you really don't need a mentor honestly. Ask yourself why adding a mentor to your team would make sense. It rarely makes sense. If your reason is to have someone show you the ropes and "hold your hand" so to speak, then I would say that you have the wrong motivation and finding a mentor will be tough. If you need financing, well then that's a different story. All of the information you're going to need though to find and close a deal is available for free or cheap in the forums or in books. A good investment minded agent can help you along the way too. 

But know that working with a mentor is only going to take away from your profit at the end of the day, prolonging the road to financial freedom. 

I hope that helps!

Andy
