Granted experience teaches you a ton as well.

Right kind of Corporate job will teach your structure and process and all those good stuff.2) Take earning and learning from #1 and invest is RE. 

I love reading self help books especially books that actually teach you how to apply practices instead of just motivational books that make you be the best you(Except I still love those actually lol).

So my question is is it feasible to find a mentor who is not just teaching from the podium? 

Really excited to be here to learn and hopefully eventually teach as well.My name is Jeremy and I live in Issaquah, WA and am 29 years old.

Chris teaches many of them. 

I was highly interested in what he was teaching but I know the golden rule that if it sounds to good to be true then it probably is.

I soon found out that they wanted a big investment to teach me how to be an investor, but I could see they were using all the tricks in the book and lots of pressure to get people to drop 30K to attend their investment summit in Las Vegas.  

Thank you@Rodney Diamond this encounter will be great networking here the people on Bp are truly the best wisdom is golden let's all share something positive and bring the fruitsof our labor to the table the discussions are & eye opener each person can teach yousomething new.

I wanted to openly share a problem I am having and have yet to really fully over come it although I have been able to address and tackle some of the pitfalls I am encountering.I am renovating a downstairs space to create an apartment.I will need anywhere between 8-11k to complete. depending on how much work i do myself and what level of appliances and cabinetry I choose.So far after one year I have only done the electrical. demo. sheetrock and plumbing the plumbing was pretty extensive as an ejector pump had to be installed and the pipe routed over 16 feet across the attic space above the ceiling. a washer dryer connection was made and plumbing for refrigerator sink and bathroom were all completed.I am still so far away  doors, both exterior and intererior. flooring. cabinets. appliances. paint. bathroom remodeling.currently I do not have a lot of cash flow because I purchased a Bmw. and the note is eating into my operation budget.I should have waited (that is the deferred Gratification piece)also the occasional hiccup has caused grief like a tree that had grown around my outside water meter. and had to be removed only to have a hot water heater fail the next month. followed by property taxesso it has been five months since I have done anything in the apartment.I can probably manage to put 1000 per month consistently toward this project.It will take sacrifice and not too much personal pleasure indulgences.This would have been the first month I was going to start the doorsbut I started teaching bass guitar so bought a bass then another then another in a five day period.
