You need to find a great mentor/teacher (and not someone charging outrageous fees- high price does not mean better outcome)You need to find a marketing model you are comfortable with and stick to it And then you need to cultivate a list of rehabbers which may include Realtors with clients who flip. 

OK I am having a dilemma washing around in my head. I have approximately 2 more years to retire with a pension that would provide around 1600 month and SS of about 1500 that would net me about $2000 a month to live on...

I’m def willing to pay for the tips, tricks, tools, and most importantly a dedicated mentor but I don’t want my first decision/ investment (choosing which program) to be a total flop before I even really get started!

GC or a mentor.

I would have a contractor mentor you about his expertise. 

I'm giving you my questions first just in case you don't want to read the whole post:My questions are: 1) Does my law license make me a more valuable prospect for a brokerage or a mentor? 

Seems to confirm the fact that finding the deal is the most important part, cause once you have that, you'll do what you need to do to get it done... and in this case, that involved reaching out to someone to be your mentor along the way.Great stuff and CONGRATS.

I am looking for a Mentor, I understand that asking someone to give up their time and energy for me, for very little in return is asking a lot, so I wanted to see if anyone had ideas to help me along my journey!

Hopped on with a mentor/business partner and am leaps and bounds ahead of where I would be if I did it solo dolo!

In many of the podcast episodes they talk about the value of finding a mentor but you need to bring value to the table don't just pick a random person and say surprise you're my mentor.
