My favorite way to find a mentor was to look on Zillow for houses for rent in your area and then click on the ones that are 'for rent by owner' then call them and introduce yourself as an investor in the area who is looking to meet new investors. 

Looking for something with low acquisition cost, and meets or exceeds the 1% rule.

U know (Glen Garry Glen Ross) I sat through some of those sales meetings pre 10 year old..

We had a neighborhood meeting last week to discuss the development with nearby property owners.

There are a few investor groups that meet in Colorado Springs.

Now if it was me, I would have gone over myself to initially survey the problem and at the least meet the plumber over there to assess the damage.  

There are a few options(1)You can get connected with the larger wholesaler firms in the area (2) go through PCPAO site and skiptrace the buyers of similar properties as yours, (3) hunt down the agents involved in the sale of properties similar to yours or go to local REI meetings and pitch it to the investors there. 

Also, always a pleasure meeting someone that's from the valley!
