After networking and continuing to grow my career I got approached buy a firm that owned and managed 4,000 plus units called http://www.teamremanagement.com/ to be their in house agent for acquisitions.

I completely agree with you that professionals who also invest themselves will be incredible helpful and I believe I have found a few resources who fit that criteria. 

It is incredible.

You should have no problem finding a good mentor if you try this  approach.

I've only been lurking for a week or two and have already found incredible value.

I was approached by one of my very good friends and co-worker to help him list his house on the MLS.

What is the right approach when talking returns on their investments?

In fact, someone approached me on Sunday trying to petition to keep the chickens she's had on her property for many years.
