A mentor to partner and begin developing with him.I haven't seen any good coaching program around here.

By getting to know someone’s work ethic, goals, and character over time, you’ll be in a much better position to determine if they’re a good fit for a long-term collaboration.

Then I look for properties that fit my parameters…and I always ask for owner financing…even though I might use that mortgage broker.  

Nailing down a buy box in the area, funding, and having a plan will come out of absorbing a ton of knowledge and narrowing down to what makes the most sense to you, what fits your life, and what fits your goals the best. 

That MIGHT be the best program for you, but even if it is not that is what you will be sold as it their only product.

(Only if you are SERIOUS about real estate as your wealth/career vehicle.)Make sure you join a brokerage that is large, established, and has a reputation for top performance and excellent training.Once you learn the basics and get out into the field to see the state of the market, you'll learn the price points and be able to know a good/great deal when you stumble across it.I have made some of my best (most lucrative) buys from meeting with a seller who wants to list, and when we discussed the price, I knew it fit my parameters, so I bought it! 

Although we decided it wasn't a good fit, I'd surely appreciate your generous offer to share GC's PM's etc. 

@Robert WestenbergerIf I were in your shoes, I would focus on multi-family homes, single-family homes with ADUs, or live-in flips, and explore financing options like FHA loans, conventional loans, or first-time buyer programs.

If you feel you are ready for this and have a desire to ignore advice that doesnt fit what you want to hear just go for it.
