Hey what's going on everybody , my name is curtis and im fresh into the world. Really interested in finding a mentor, someone that can pass down knowledge and advice as I begin. I've been reading a lot on the ins and outs and different directions to go with it as well. In very excited to network and get started im so confident that real estate can help change my life. Good luck every one and thanks. Curtis

@Curtis Wortham

Welcome to BP. As a suggestion: dont start out asking for a mentor on your 4th post on the site, most of the others simply asking for help. Many people see that as signs of being a tire kicker. My suggestion is to connect with people in the area thru REIA meetings, become active on BP, and find people in your area doing what you're interested in (thru bp search tool) and take them out to lunch.

If you want a mentor, ask yourself what you can offer to them. Otherwise what incentive do they have to take time out of their busy schedule to help a most - likely - time - kicker?

I dont mean to be harsh, just trying to be honest with you.
