@Alex Cohen when you are looking for a mentor in the REI space you need to have a pitch of what you can bring to the table so the mentor can get something out of it as well. 

We have been through two duplex transactions both with existing tenants.nice to have the immediate cash flow, but that comes at a price.One was the classic biker gang, unregistered trucks in the yard, difficult tenant situation.This was a great learning experience, but it took us several months to clean up and upgrade the place and the tenants.

Until they have each maxed our their #Conventional Loans then there is cheap debt on the table that they could redeploy into a partnership and have some major purchasing power.

A new person without a known track record just offering an offer similar to what is on the table, If I represent them?

Look for a solid CRM, website, lead generation tools, coaching - especially in the form of daily/weekly open forum round tables, company stocks and a bonus for recruiting other agents to your brokerage.Good luck in your search!

@Wesley Porter kudos for coming to the table with something that you can do for someone to get some mentorship in return.

I have an extraordinary set of skills that would benefit most real estate investors and I have no doubt that I can bring tons of value to the table with my time, talent, and experiences.
