Specifically for Junior liens, its to see if they are paying the first lien or not, as well as the reason above.

Do you have a mentor to help you with the new construction process or are you just learning that process on your own?

While this is true, I think a coach or mentor can be invaluable and can save you a LOT of time having to dig around and find all that info, especially if they have a whole system laid out and you can adopt it and get rolling fast.As for where to start?

After I exercised my option a few months later and sold the house to another person, I told my mentor all about the deal.

I'm tired of people asking for my money, I just need a mentor (who after a deal would be happy to take care of) Just someone who cares and not wanting to rip off newbys!

Before I even start looking for a mentor, how much should I know?

I have a friend/mentor who owns a title company in Tampa, he has owned it for 20+ years and does very well, but he is even more successful as an investor.

The new AR has also placed limitations on how junior and senior enlisted interact as well.Yes, the exception to the business aspect is, the AR does take into account landlord/tenant relationships and has established that as an exception. 

I am getting my first foot into real estate and I am in need of mentors.

A good mentor will teach you from the ground up but it must be mutually beneficial.
