I would never mentor or aid a money chaser. 

I will admit I had zero idea what I was doing to begin with, but I did hire a mentor/licensed GC for 8 weeks to coach me through most of this.

Mimi, you won't get "low fees" and "newbie mentoring" at the same time. 

I do not have a mentor or know anyone locally (I am in Cali - LA County) who i can turn to or ask questions for help.

I am planning on become a realtor for Keller Williams of Williamsburg and I am also in the process of selecting a mentor from that particular office.

I think what I'm having the most trouble with is finding a local group with which to meet, and either from that group or elsewhere finding a mentor that could help me get over the hump

The HOA fees cover these.This has been tested many times before, a mentor of mine who has been a landlord there for going on 4 decades that having a property management is not cost-effective and generally a bad idea - in that particular location.I don't like the idea of giving up $3,000-$5000 per year, per property, to do less than $500 worth of work.These aren't the typical high management intensive single family homes in the Midwest.As I was saying before, why would the time difference be such a big issue?

And if you will like to mentor I’ll appreciate that too.

If you do find somebody and you want to mentor with them you need to have something to offer them.

Hi all,I'm currently new in this field and looking to excel, I'm located in Edmonton Alberta and looking for individuals on this forum that could possibly mentor or guide me in the process of potentially looking for a home to purchase to rent/flip or to do some little home renovations to improve a home to sell.Thank you,Landers
