Either way, I don't see much benefit of having this mentor.Sorry if this is harsh, but I've seen a lot of new investors come in thinking, "Oh, I'll figure it out as I go along, and it won't be that bad...it will all work out in the end."

You can wholesale anywhere.Sorry to be harsh .. but why am I spending my time talking to you when you don’t have anything to sell me?
