I'm not comfortable putting the details here but was wondering if there is someone out there, experienced in investing, who might be able to mentor me through the situation (within this website, not externally). Thank you so much.

Hi @Lynn V., welcome to the BP Forum! I understand your concern for privacy, but can you give us any more info about the property you're looking to purchase?

Absolutely—mentorship can make a huge difference when starting out. The best approach is to connect with experienced investors who are open to guiding new buyers, reviewing deals, and walking you through the analysis, financing, and property management steps. In the Midwest, there are plenty of opportunities for cash-flowing single-family and small multifamily investments, which can be great learning ground for new investors. Focus on building relationships with people who have done several deals, so you can see real examples and avoid common rookie mistakes.

Totally understand wanting to keep the details private. There are plenty of experienced investors here who are happy to talk things through.
If you want, feel free to DM me with the basics of your situation. I’m glad to point you in the right direction or share how I’ve helped others navigate similar decisions.
Thank you so much everyone! I got pulled away by other things and am just getting back here. Thank you all and I will follow up with your suggestions. So appreciative!
Totally get wanting a safe space to talk it through—smart move. Two tips: post a brief, high-level summary of your situation (goal, timeline, strategy you’re considering) so folks know how to help, and ask for mentors who’ve done that exact strategy and are active here so you can keep it on-platform.
What’s the main decision you’re facing right now and your target timeline to act?
