I told myself when I quit my last job that I never wanted to be an employee again, and I'm really hoping that Uber can hold us over until real estate takes over the bills.Really looking forward to connecting with local investors, both mentors and peers to work along side!

I know that there's tons of information here on bigger pockets, and trust me, I'm gonna dig through A LOT of it, but I'm looking for a mentor, or coach of sorts to push me in the right direction of REI.

That said, if you have money to spend on education, I'd be all for trying to find a local investor and paying them to mentor you once a month for a year.

My mentor has several subcontractors that I will be working with, but I would like to be prepared if any of them are unable to meet my needs.

There is also a meetup called Dinner with a Mentor that is in South County that @Peter MacKercher runs.

I've been advised by many mentors to open up a new LLC for each property you have.

I am looking for a Mentor in the Charlotte Area or a possible opportunity to work as a Real Estate Assistant to help build my experience.

There is another firm that says they are not big on "teams"...but do a 6 week training program and will assign a "mentor" to her and this mentor gets a flat fee for say the first 3 or 4 transactions my wife completes. 

Questions from BP Podcast Episode 1:1) How would someone go about finding a Mentor?

I can't do this because I know half as much about REI as you, but I do have a friend/mentor with a several million dollar portfolio who uses cap rate for 1-4 unit properties.
