Joint Ventured with a few partners to get this done.

Some investors I talked to are doing MTRs and STRs (this seems challenging with competing with all the other AirBnbs in CA), some are trying to do a Joint Venture and buy multi-family. 

I believe too many lean back on feelings vs figuring a measure for fact's, and end up with who had best marketing and than blames the sub-par experience on the venture as a whole. 

This hands-on experience helped us develop some DIY skills and boosted our confidence.In 2020, we bought a single-family home that we’re currently living in and rehabbing.

Looking to learn the foundations of investing, DIY renovations and profit-making.  

I din't have enough capital to start on my own, so I partnered up and did a few joint ventures, sprinkled in some seller financing, and then syndicated a couple of deals, only to return to joint ventures.Pick a strategy, then a market, then start to network with all the brokers in the market. $400k is plenty to get started.Gino

Best of luck with your real estate ventures, and I’m here if you need assistance!

You do not need a  mentor program, see if you can attend a  few meetups and then do a Joint Venture or equity deal with one of the investors there  and start from there.

I would venture to guess many RE agents would disagree with you on that.
