Brandon Turner has a great book on creative Real Estate financing strategies: Investing in Real Estate with No (and Low) Money DownSurround yourself with those achieving what your goals are.It’s so important to surround yourself with mentors in the real estate business.

He's become a great friend and mentor to us.

Anyone want to be my mentor? 

Read Mentor 1 post.Use the lookup function with my name.  

To the folks that say that training, education, mentoring, and masterminding is not worth it, regardless of who is selling it, you are downright wrong.

These “mentors” suggest methods that are DANGEROUS in the hands of the inexperienced, unknowledgeable, and under capitalized.  

So being ready to move fairly quickly and having most of your ducks in a row is advisable.One of the most helpful factors in this whole journey was having mentors who helped me through the whole process.

When I started, I had a mentor who would help me broker those deals because he had a lot more experience.  

Nothing is free and if you can force yourself to educate yourself for free that's good, but what is it worth to have mentors that will actually answer your questions and steer you in the right way, also experienced investors that you can bring your situations to and get help.

I'm current a junior in college and majoring in business marketing.
