I'm wanting to find a mentor(s) who are available to teach me how to structure my business in the most efficient and productive way.

Retirement certainly doesn't mean you cease being productive!

Before today I actually thought I was a pretty good landlord...provide a quality product...have all my tenants setup on routine maintenance visits, and even send out gift cards around the holidays. 

You have a distinct advantage.

We see a drop from 04 into 05 & 06 as some exotic zero down products were hitting the market, and a dip again in 09 as the government did all they could to stimulate the market.  

Seems fairly straight forward but I do not see this advertised much as a product feature.Thanks,Ken

My background is in internet marketing and I have been promoting products and ideas since 2002. 

I've gone to the last two LA Deal Maker Session events and they have both been very productive. https://www.meetup.com/Los-Angeles-Real-Estate-Dea...I'd also love to hear about other local meet-ups. 

Again, these can be tapped instantly.A bank can and usually does offer either or both of these products.

As a superintendent for a production and semi custom builder I'm expected to be as organized as possible.
