Experience with Paid Mentors

Hi All,

I have spent the past year studying real estate investing and am looking to acquire my first property and begin to scale up my portfolio over the next decade. 

I know I want to buy an all brick 3 bed/2 bath single family home in Alabama/somewhere in the Southeast to start, but I am struggling with confidence issues and self-doubt. It is a really big leap to take and I believe I would truly benefit from hiring a paid mentor, preferably one who offers one-on-one services at an hourly rate, to help guide me through my first purchase. 

I am aware of the services my local REIA offers, but I am looking for someone who has experience in real estate investing to mentor me one-on-one.

I would appreciate your referrals to any individual or service who could help.

 I am skeptical of paid mentors if it is very costly. Those that do it for five digit figures typically the situation does not end well. You will never get the value you thought you would get from it.
