 You are working much to hard. All you need to do is connect with those that provide rentals to cash buyers, some will work with loan buyers, Double digit net caps are to be had

All the best 

 Are you looking for a place to rent out for income or to live ? If to rent, there are markets you can get a property for about that a little more with 1k or more in rent. 

@Paulina L.

just to be clear - you want to buy a rental house out of state, all-in at, 90K?  i wouldn't start with this... this could put you in a more challenging area.

instead, if LA is too expensive, can you pick a market you can drive to, even if it's several hours away? go to REIA meetings, network, build a core 4, look at properties, meet agents and property managers, look at house hacking. put in some work on the ground.

Hi Paulina I'm in Orange County Ca south of LA. If you are not too far from Tustin Ca you should come to a RE investor mix tonight at 6pm and make new connections. Who knows you might meet your future mentor or just other like minded people. This group that meets is all experience levels new, seasoned all types. If you like more details message me and I'll send you all the info. Hope to see you there.

 Hey Paulina, welcome to BiggerPockets! Start listening to the BiggerPockets podcast starting at the very beginning. Start growing your network, look on Facebook/BiggerPockets for different events, and get to know the local lenders/brokers. You can also consult with lenders, brokers and ask them for suggestions on who might be a good real estate mentor most will be able to provide one.

Try to think of different ways you can add value to that person. What are your strengths? For example are you experienced in social media marketing? Could you offer a mentor some tips? This way its not just a one way street. Best of luck on your real estate journey!

No Problem Paulina!

Another option I was thinking is looking into mastermind groups on places like Facebook and LinkedIn. Also like BiggerPockets suggests and is a big fan of, go on meetup.com and look for local investor meetups. From my experience they are very casual and full of likeminded people who are excited to share their knowledge with new people. These routes will more than likely be much more cost effective than paying for a coach or mentor. 

Glad to hear so many people are interested in putting heads together. Quick poll... I realize getting calendars synced can be an issue so quick feedback and I'll do my best to make it as accessible as possible. Preference for week day or a weekend and preference for morning or evening. I'll get some feedback and put a Zoom meeting together. Feel free to reply here in the thread or message me.

Looking forward to connecting and I always feel there is power in numbers and this can be a value add for all parties. @Jarred Bowman @Paulina L. @Matthew Sweeney @Lee Ripma @David Nutakor @Jewell Vold

Hey Paulina, 

Are you currently a Real Estate agent in California? The reason I ask is because with most, if not all brokerages, there is the option to join a team within the brokerage firm that will not only offer you training but also be able to mentor you and keep you accountable. My experience with this is limited to eXp Realty, which I know offers both Mentorship programs and the ability to join a team. 

As far as options that don't involve being a real estate agent that I am aware of, but have no experience with, there are several real estate investing mentorship/coaching programs from the likes of Grant Cardone, Ryan Pineda, Graham Stephan, etc. I'd say if that's the route you're interested in, check out their youtube and social content to see if any of what they say resonates with you, and maybe look into any programs they may have. 

I hope that helps and best of luck 🤝🍀
