MENTOR NEEDED!!!

[Quincy Collins]

Hello everyone, I am currently a last quarter senior at Robert Morris University, majoring in Business management and I want to learn the real estate investment business. Because I have a six month grace period before I have to start paying on my loans, I am interested in knowing more about wholesaling real estate, as I heard this is a great way to start real estate investing and make small amounts of cash in a small time frame. If you have any information on potential internships or training services, it would be appreciated if you could inform me. I am in the Chicago area and I would love to learn hands on. My name is Quincy by the way, have a great day!

Hello Quincy,

I would say perhaps the best way to meet people who can help you out in your quest for information, mentorship, and maybe some hands-on internship experience is to get out there and meet some locals at REIA meetings. You can look these up in the events & happenings/networking section of BP. Further, I would check out meet-up.com for news on local REI meet-ups.

Now aside from just attending, you want to have a clear idea of what EXACTLY you want/expect from this business. Know what your goals are and know what your motivators are (aka your "Why"; as in "Why do I want to pursue this route?").

There is a ton of information on the blogs, forums and podcasts regarding wholesaling and I recommend you check it out to get a better grasp on your own goals. (Listen to podcast 81!).

I hope this helps and I wish you the best of luck!
