Also, are there any social media websites with groups that I could network with that highlight investors & wholesalers? 

@Gabriel A Camachoshort answer - no, you don't need to start with a mentor, and you probably shouldn't.some things you can do: go to meetups and join Facebook groups and start making friends and building a network.

Thanks Scott,I’m looking to meet fellow investors and network.

The key is staying consistent and networking with the right people (you’re already in the right place!).
