How To Find a Mentor

[Kevin Holmes]

Hello All

I'm doing all that I can (reading, watching videos, attending webinars) to get into wholesaling real estate. I like wholesaling because it has a low entry point. 

I plan to add on to my "arsenal" after I master it.

I think I've done enough. I'm ready to get my feet wet. What is the best way to find a mentor? I read an article in the library here, that says trading skills is one way. 

I have some skills in social media management, video editing skills, logo/Graphic design. I vlog. I've blogged. I produce instrumental music (focus on 90s hip hop and some trap music, I have releases on Spotify).

Any suggestions?

Any takers/Mentors interested?

Quote from @Scott E.:

Don't get too hung up on finding a mentor before doing your first deal. Just start networking, and your network as a whole can act as your 'mentor' for now. Go to meetups, start calling agents and lenders, meet other wholesalers etc. 

As you make connections with other local people in the industry, you'll definitely connect with a few who will be willing to help you navigate your first deal.

Right now you should focus on building a buyers list, contacting homeowners, and making lowball offers on properties.

Sometimes it becomes hard for me to determine when to color inside the lines (i.e. follow a blueprint) or get creative. Rookie mistake.
