Anybody know of a GOOD mentor that can help with my overall growth in becoming a real estate investor.

If you want to connect with my agent there, she may have some resources for you for different money.Yes it sure is a hot market,  I have confidence I can get a nice out value and yes I do have some good tradespeople on call, but brand new to navigating lenders (do they need to be local?)
