I am not saying that there are not valuable programs out there for purchase or that you should not pay for a coach or mentor, simply that you can get bombarded by offerings.  

My mentor taught me that. 

Did you start with a mentor or just jump right in?

I have a great mentor but, I would like as much help as I can get.

As u can tell, im excited to get started and I believe its better to get started now then wait for another crash happen.Im willing to go to any meet-ups and network on partnering/mentoring on deals and also interested in meeting up on local housing reno projects for the experience on construction and estimating rehab cost, which i still need more help on.

I would like to connect with others in Colorado Springs, but I don’t want to pay for a mentor.

I purchased a class from a mentor, and I couldn't have been happier with it. 

I will be going to meet up with him just for the experience and I’m going to tell him I’m not paying a cent.I know I’m worth it and if no one is willing to mentor me then I will go thru the process of trail and error solo.

Are there potential mentor/friends like minded people can hang out and build friendships and learn from each other

I’m looking for a real estate mentor in my area who can offer me some advice when needed and guide me as I learn the ropes of the real estate investment.
