I realize this is something that gets asked a lot and am hesitant to post, however I understand the importance of finding a mentor and am humbly asking for a hand.I currently work in I.T. and would have no problems offering my services in that arena in exchange.

@Peter MacKercher has a small, no-sale group meeting tomorrow night; you can RSVP (free) at Meetup.com, searching for "Dinner with a Mentor".Hope to see you there.

On of my mentors mixes everything up.

@Nat ChanLesson learned.. its really very simplethere is a saying at least I learned it mid 70s   and that is FIRST IN TIME  and to follow that is RACE to the RECORDERS office.any debt that is JUNIOR  recorded in TIME after the foreclosing instrument is extinguished.With exceptions of course of Super liens and those you need to check on your state as they are state specific.

I'm a junior at the University of Louisville, studying political science and going through Army ROTC.

Hi I'm new to Bigger Pockets and I was in search for a mentor in the metro Detroit area.

Are there any mentors in Dallas that would be willing to show me the ropes in wholesaling?

Oh, you'll get words of encouragement from the wheeler dealer types, jump in, go for it, but most of them won't be around in 3 years, those still saying that are probably trying to sell you something or mentor you.So, from an old vet, get the basics of RE first, stay out of trouble as you begin, don't make a fool of yourself with others in the business, like Realtors or good investors.

We love how the gentrification is happening all around us.I am in search for a mentor who has great knowledge in the JC area.

@Brandon Pretty much every person I have mentored asks that same question and what I tell each of them is pretty much the same and along these lines.You need 4 basic things to get started as a real estate investor and they are: Money, Time, Credit and Knowledge.
