New. Is there anyone out there who can mentor me through a potential purchase?

Question

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.

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 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?
