is real mentors want to help other investors succeed , why not just help train new investor & split the profits 50/50 for deals that the new investors close ..

Whether you’re an investor or an agent, finding people who can bring real value to the table is absolutely critical.Have you had a similar experience with an agent, broker, or mentor?

Just my personal opinion - get a mentor or a person who already has good experience running STR business, preferably in your area (but not 100% required). 

From day one I treated my involvement in real estate as a real business.This means, I had an advertising budget, a lead generating and follow up process, a back end process and money source and above all an experienced mentor.  

I'm a newbie tooSelf education through books is a conversation between the author (mentor) and you.You'll gain knowledge, connections etc but it takes timeAttending meetups, listening to Youtube videos on subject matter further broadens knowledge base

There's no step by step guide but there are key things : Learn: RE strategies, what interests you, what do people in your area need.Connect: find a mentor, accountability group and be around those doing what you want to do.Help: solve problems- do people need dealflow, property mgmt, construction expertise, etc. 

You want to find a coach/mentor that's done what you want to do.

Network StrategicallyReal Estate Meetups: Attend networking events to meet potential partners, mentors, or funders.Professional Organizations: Join groups like the Urban Land Institute (ULI) or the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) to connect with developers and investors.Pitch Events: Look for events that allow you to pitch your idea to angel investors or venture capitalists.5.

Building relationships and finding a mentor takes time.

But not sure the solution which is to provide me teaching/training on how to get off market deals is something I can’t learn without a mentor.
