Then it turns into pitchfest for his mentor program.That's when I walked out.Don't waste your time traveling to an expensive hotel to be pitched his mentoring program.

Dear BP Friends, Mentors,I hope this reaches you well.

I'm looking for a mentor, someone who is already financially independent, someone who's self made and knows how to get from where I am to where he/she is financially.

Does anyone out there have a positive experience with a REI Mentor and/or Coach that they could recommend?

I am looking for a partner/mentor to see if this is feasible and if so move forward with me.

How do I go about finding a mentor for wholesaling?

Your paid off, homesteaded house can't be taken from you.... unless you give a bank a lien7) No, do not touch retirement accounts -to be honest, with no experience, I don't know you should start into flipping unless you can find a local mentor.

Working in property management, getting real estate license, mentoring under an investor/developer…? 

Ultimately I would love to find a mentor in my area that has already garnered some experience in real estate investing (not specifically reheating a mentor as against BP rules but it is a goal of mine nonetheless).

In that time, I've paid a nominal fee to a local real estate investor's association for mentoring; obsessively listened to BP podcasts;  spent hours pouring over blogs; and spent hours more watching YouTube videos on investing...
