After hours of podcast,  I decided that if I want to be serious about creating financial wealth through RE I have to learn to tell people that its part of what I do.So today I begin talking to someone at work and inserted to "I'm looking to get into Real Estate" as part of the conversation and come to know he has invested in a 5 unit apartment across the street for Central Park and put down 60%, in my mind all i thought was "WHOA I have found a potential mentor"All this to say is that you have to tell people what you are up to, tell that you are are a real estate investor, tell them that you will become a multimillionaire, or not you'll never take a chance on encountering the right people.

The "mentor" is charging $2000 and guarantees that I can make 6 figures by the end of the 12 month program.

I would recommend being a little more proactive about find a mentor and start asking around.

Find a mentor in your area or someone who is willing to take you under their wing on your first deal or two.

Once you decide your niche, consider finding a mentor in your area doing exactly what you are doing to learn from them. 

My advice is get with a mentor and learn as much as you can.
