I´m 25 years old, originally from Mexico City, but living in Columbus Ohio since 2016 due to a job relocation.I have a bachelor's degree in systems engineering and a MBA.Currently working a full time job on a supply chain company in Columbus, Ohio.Actively looking to learn and start investing on Real Estate in order to get an early retirement (stop working for a company and spend my time and money on my own business).I have very basic real estate experience at the moment.I guess as many of you I started a couple of years ago with "Rich dad poor dad" and from there I have been trying to run out from the rat race.On November 2016 I attended one of this guru weekend workshops and taking out the fact that they try to sell you a "magic formula" to get rich with just little effort and paying them 50K, I think it was a good introduction to what real estate investing is, get to know some vocabulary and a better idea of how the business works.After attending to the workshop I decided to research a little bit more about RE and I found this awesome site called BiggerPockets, in which I have found a lot of interesting forums, webinars and podcasts.My real estate goals at the moment look like these...2017 - Learn as much as possible about real estate market on my area, raising money and exit strategies.2018 - Have a detalied real state business plan and do my first investment.2019 and beyond - Spend a big amount of time and money working to get a monthly income of 5K on real estate investments.I´m currently looking for a mentor to guide my real estate experience on the greater Columbus area.My main interest at the moment is the buy and hold strategy, so most likely I would like to connect with people already making some money of rental properties, but I´m always open to learn different strategies.In reward, my mentor will get my commitment of about 10 to 15 hours a week of hard work on helping get and analyze deals by performing some time consuming tasks that could be delegated to me so I can learn about the business while I help someone else grow your business.

It takes a while to recap lost rent during the time it takes to get it rented and (in your case) attend to the honey-dos.

You will have to pay for those classes and obviously attending takes time out of your schedule.

I'll be attending Black Diamond and other REIA Meetup groups in February.

I would recommend finding your local REIA and joining it, or at least attending a few of their meetings and then deciding if you would benefit from joining at that point.I am happy to connect. feel free to PM me.Best,

Thanks guys happy investing.P.S @Jerry Miller I will be attending the Feb 1st meeting hope to see you there. :)

@Pete Perez, thanks I'll be sure to attend some!
