Having mentor Struggles

[Immanuel Pierre]

I have been real estate investing for about a year now and have ran across a few mentors. I personally feel like I look for ways to bring value to mentor but, struggle with finding the right mentor for me that is aligned with the goals I am trying to accomplish. I guess to get a discussion going is if you have a mentor how did you connect with them? How did you find one in the particular area that you are interested in? Or how did you find a mentor who you truly value and strive to emulate?

[Mark Cruse]

I never had a mentor per se. I did join a mastermind group that had tons of heavy hitters that I was able to collaboratively work with. In addition, I knew of several individuals who needed to raise money for various projects. If it was a project I was interested in I invested and became part of that project. I took over portions and was able to observe the execution first hand while I was still earning on my investment. For me, hands on worked the best.
