Know what your risk tolerance is, know what exit strategies works best for your current goals, find a mentor by networking, learn lead generation, know when to delegate tasks to others (VAs, Parnters, etc.), read a lot of books, and have fun!!! 

Otherwise, they'll be no mentors and all the other agents will instead push you to work with retail buyers & sellers.

PLEASE keep this in mind ALL you newbies out there... not because you get a system and the videos are quality, and there are 40000 hours of course material, and all the explanations are so clearly presented and bla bla bla, does it mean that WHAT THEY ARE TEACHING YOU IS CORRECT.In order for any mentor, or course to be good... several things need to come to play.The teaching procedure needs to be effective, sure, but if they teach you a strategy how to get motivated seller leads that doesn't work, it doesn't matter how effectively they teach how to drive for dollars, when driving for dollars don't get you reliable leads right?

I'm a newbie investor working with a seasoned real estate investor (my mentor) to do JV deals with to help me get started.

First off, find a mentor.

At this point, I would much rather find a couple of mentors or peers who are doing well in my field and ask them the how to's and research from sources online and in books as well. 

Any recommendations on talking to and find a Family Mentor? 

Very few landlords would (knowingly) allow this and even fewer would allow it with someone in college with no experience.I think your time would be better spent saving capital for a house hack and learning more about RE via a mentor, local meetups, books etc.

If you are looking for a coach/mentor, take a look at what Brad Sumrok offers...

Looking forward to learning and making new friends/colleagues/partners/mentors.
