If anyone can give me feedback on which direction I should begin in as a beginner investor I would greatly appreciate it. 

I would advise any licensed agent to discuss with a qualified and knowledgeable attorney, the state laws pertaining to real estate licensing, wholesaling (if any), potential financial liability, and potential of license suspension or forfeiture before making any move in this direction.  

Investors generally want to pay for direct labor and direct materials and not pay for the contractor risk (OSHA, aebestos, LNI, litigation, construction defect risk management, lead based paint, surprises, injuries, etc.) 

I'm an engineer with a background in finance.Would be great to meet a mentor that could lead me in the right direction so I can get started on the right foot.My goal is buy and hold for rental income--build a portfolio.

Makes me think I should just focus in looking for a great deal through direct mailing instead.
