As a new agent most offices also have mentoring every week with another agent that is one of the top producers.

I am also looking for a mentor/sponsor in the southeastern Michigan area mainly Macomb County Area...

Advise and mentoring would be greatly appreciated

Just keep networking and send out those colleague requests to potential partners, you may find a potential mentor soon.

I have attended a great Mentor our here in Honolulu that has changed my mindset and ability.  

I have that beginner desire to want to jump right in but want to be smart about it, so my thought process is to really focus on paying off the loans and in the meantime learn the most I can about real estate investing and find a mentor to work for on the side and learn from in the meantime.

My understanding on how to do this - and how our mentors suggest we do it - is to have the wholesaler fee to be captured on the HUD at closing.

You might just find that mentor you need.......FOR FREE. 

Being that I am new I am also looking for a mentor. 

My friend/co-worker is in the same boat as me and has been very successful, so my plan is to continue to use him as a mentor, but also to reach out and make new connections and expand my knowledge.
