Previously I had learned about junior mortgages, but Dean's course focused on first mortgages, which I did not have any experience and are a different animal than seconds or junior liens.

I find the value they provide in the network of successful investors, contractors, lenders and mentors.

When I managed 150+ units for my mentor, we accompanied every rental and sale showing, regardless of whether the other side was accompanied by a licensed agent.

Do you mentor new investors?

I have plenty to learn and hope to find mentors that are willing to help. 

Asking for a mentor without having anything to give3.

Oh, and the rogue syndicator who took advantage of us all was a darling of theirs (LU's) only a year before he "broke bad", and had subscribers from some of the long-time, experienced passive investors in the group, including a mentor or two and the executive vice president, herself! 

Finding a local mentor who isn't selling you something would be a very good idea.

I’m a total rookie, but I’m eager to learn how to create passive income and make smart investments.I’d love to connect with experienced investors and maybe even find a mentor who can help guide me along the way.

I've been networking and have met experienced contractors and have been receiving mentoring and coaching through experienced investors.
