I can see it if one wants to mentor in One state or like for us Oregon and Washington who had very similar laws. 

Newbie here and looking for some specific advice on investing in our first STR:*How can I find a mentor? 

I am looking for a partner/partners and mentors to help me get my feet wet in real estate, as well as start building successful relationships/connections.

You are an online real estate investing mentor yourself.

Additionally, consider seeking advice from experienced investors or a real estate mentor to guide you on your journey.

Any tips, pointers, or mentors will always be accepted.

I’ve sponsored & mentored nearly 40 agents across 10 states, including CA.  

@John Dawson the best thing I can recommend is 1.) find a mentor you get a long with who is willing to show you the ropes and just be willing to grind like your life depends on it.  1-3 years of that will set you straight, so long as you're putting your clients first, and doing a good job.  

Understand how you might sell or transition your investment in the future.It's wise to speak with financial experts, real estate agents in your area, and maybe even a real estate investing mentor before making a choice.

Mentor is my Bread and Butter right now.
