Next lure in novice investors with promises they can replicate your success with little or no money when in actuality all you have to do is teach them how to buy low barrier single family homes and they will be appreciative because they don’t know any better :) All jokes aside, if you want to mentor/ coach obtain a real estate license and help investors purchase investment properties as you continue to learn the business.

Take advantage of the opportunity to learn from experienced investors who have navigated similar paths and those currently active in the local market.

Always remember that this is a business relationship.
