Hello,The Army helped me accumulate multiple degrees and I would like to use my remaining VA education benefits for formal real estate investment mentor or apprenticeship in the state of Colorado. 

Are there things that I should approach established investors about offering to do for free in exchange for apprenticeship/shadowing?

Through BP I've also joined up with Justin for an apprenticeship with his company.

Whether making a tiny $1,500 commission or a $500,000 profit from flipping... the thrill is in the hunt.. getting paid is the proof of job well done.Whoever you choose to align yourself with, NEVER buy into any mentor/apprenticeship programs...realtor and finance person working together can make anything ROCK!

Real estate is new to me and with any apprenticeship you start with you have to gain as much information as you can and practice it.

Do i get an apprenticeship?

So, what are some things to look for if you are to secure an honest apprenticeship from a true qualified mentor?

But if you have that in you, gain the knowledge you need perhaps with a combination of apprenticeship (perhaps working in a rental management company, possibly as a realtor with another realtor as your guide - choose who you take advice from wisely though) and some slightly more formal education at a community college.
