Good for networking, learning, and industry updates. 

I have been researching real estate and reading books from bigger pockets publishing, and the next step I want to take is finding a mentor in the investing industry, does anyone have suggestions on doing so?

My wife and I moved from Montana to Northern Kentucky 10 years ago, though I'm originally from North Central, Ohio.It was around that time that I read the books 4-Hour Work Week and Rich Dad Poor Dad, which both lit a fire in me to better understand this idea of passive income to reach financial freedom for myself and retirement for my father.I've spent this past year immersing myself in dozens of books, listening to hundreds of hours of podcasts, networking with realtors, and studying as much as I can about this industry.

Hard money & private lending is a very niche industry.

I am trying to negotiate an industrial property with a similar plan.

Since my partner and I invest our own funds along side the investors in every deal we syndicate, there’s a much greater alignment of interest between us and the limited partners than exists in most syndications.Shakeout of the industry was/is inevitable.

I tend to buy where stable industry plants roots.

Nobody is out there pitching the car sales industry as a get rich quick scheme and I'd argue selling cars is easier than getting started (legally or illegally) brokering real estate.

You aren't a first time homebuyer, as far as the mortgage industry is concerned.

If we dont have a good one, anyone who has some expertise in this industry, we can partner up and I can build out an app to help us all out!
