Hey man! Hope your journey goes well. I am definitely not wholesaler but I'm also someone who's been seeking mentorship recently and wanted to share a couple things I learned:
- Keep actively looking for deals and getting those reps
- Attend meetups in person and try to have as many meaningful conversations as you can
- Try to reach out to potential mentors with their best interest in mind. The people that you'll want as a mentor have found success in wholesaling. To be a successful wholesaler, they must be busy. So understanding that, try to illustrate the value you can bring to THEM. Why should they mentor you? What's in it for them?
Lastly, prove your committed to the path for the long term, rather than asking them to help with only your first deal. If anyone is going to invest their time in you, they'll want to see that you're truly interested in pursuing the business and you'll maybe be able to repay the favor in the future (ie bring them a great new deal you sourced!)
Good luck man! I totally get where you're coming from. Hope this helped
