My mentor began as a Sunday School teacher, turned that into selling Sunday School material, turned that into motivational speaking, turned that into real estate, turned that into banking, turned that into owning corporate 500 businesses. 

I am not a real estate 20 year veteran, I am not a guru... in fact I am simply certified math teacher for the state of CT and just like to take actions... and help folks discover similarly which actions make sense to make vs what doesn't make sense...At the end of the day... after me taking the course... in real estate... i realized that... by taking someone else's course... listening to podcast... reading other wonderful folks comments on Bigger Pocket forum on LInkedIn on Quora and just networking... with folks... not with the intent of a hidden agenda to brainwash someone.... into buying multi family homes with them..., but from the stand point of simply being a good person... and networking with folks who are of similar mindset... and understand the inner reasoning of what you are trying to do....
