What's the best way to find mentors in your local area that aren't crazy guru expensive?

@Damian Johnson 

I recommend attending cash flow meetups as well-- search meetups for Cash Flow games and attend them.  You will meet a higher level of investor at these meetings, and find good networking for educational resources. 

Honestly, if you connect well with someone, they will be happy to mentor you, FOR FREE-- but you have to be respectful of their time and effort, and be willing to have something to offer them in return.  Could this be your time?  Could this be bringing them in on a percentage of your deals?  Get creative!  We all have skills.  :)

I've learned a lot from attending seminars--not from the seminars, but from the PEOPLE attending the seminars!!  The seminars are a good way to get very basic information, but it's all info you can find on here if you really want it--and it serves as a basic overview to what investing is all about.  I've never been to a course that will actually teach you step by step, but then again, I haven't been to every single course that's offered out there.  My latest and greatest deals/connections came from getting out there and MEETING people.  I hope this helps.  :) 

I, too, am seeking a mentor to help me get to the next level--so I'm attending Toastmasters, Cash Flow games, seminars, boot camps, and networking/mastermind groups.  I forgot all about the REIC's, lol-- but I'll go for those as well!!
