I would love to help, because it can be intimidating jumping into REI and trying to navigate the people, language, and obstacles that come your way. I am with a nationwide lender that finances long and short term rentals, multifamily, condos, BRRRRs, etc. I am frequently in the Tampa/St Pete area and familiar with the area. I sent you a friend request, and would love to discuss more about what your goals are and how I can assist to get you there!

When you ask for a mentor from a bunch of strangers, you're going to get people that want to sell you a program or a property. They aren't concerned about you as a person and they're not going to help you in your journey for free.

If you want a mentor, you need to start by building relationships with successful investors in your market. Once you build relationships with people that are proven, then you can look for ways to exchange your services for theirs. Maybe they want you to clean up the job site each weekend or deliver materials to their contractors. Maybe they need someone to help with social media marketing or sending letters or posting notices to tenants or . . . fill in the blank.

Find a successful investor, build a relationship, find a way to serve them. They can provide education, or maybe even a partnership, in exchange for your help.

Hi Nathan!

thank you for the insights on mentoring. It makes sense. Problem is, I am having a hard time even finding someone that is worth my time. I have ran into so many peoppe pretending. I'm going to keep searching, giving up is not an option at all.

Thanks again

Hi all! i am totally new to this group and forum. I live in the Tampa Bay area and am desperately looking for a mentor. Someone that has proven success in the real estate investing business. I have so many things I need assistance with because here in Tampa I have run into so many disingenuous people that have all wasted my time. I own a Townhome, I also have property I inherited in the Ybor city area (home and land). I am also a veteran. I am trying to find various strategies on how to execute my next move. I would like to rent out my Townhome. I am stuck on if I should I refinance it, buy single family, then focus on building a multi-family on the land I have or find land elsewhere and then build out. I know there's many ways to leverage what i have but just not sure how I should proceed

I am open to suggestions and real life strategies.

Hi Tammy, too many options is often more a curse than a blessing when you're new because you get stuck analyzing which is marginally the best play. Think about where and how you want to be living in 10 years and reverse plan. If you're comfy in your townhome, building a new multi in Ybor would be where'd I'd lean towards with little info provided.

Hi Dillan! I think that's a great idea (to start). I often think about where I want to be. I think I have narrowed it down moving into another home (single family) because I desperately need the space for me and my kids. I think once that has been accomplished I can start focusing on the land/property in Ybor.

thanks for the insights.
