Newbie investor starting out looking for mentor?

Hi all,

My name is Chi and I'm from Mountain View, California. I am very interested in doing wholesaling, and I've read and browsed many books, forums, discussions, and even watched some broadcasts, but is still confused in many things. So, I am currently looking for an experienced wholesaler near my area that is willing to take me as a student, so I can learn a few things. Please let me know, thank you a lot!

    Hi Chi,

    There's no easy way to do RE or say this, but you just have to get out there and meet people and keep chugging. I feel like mentors come when you've shown commitment, dedication, and at least a little bit of value. 

    There are several Bay Area meet ups but ensure that when you connect with experienced investors you are honest. We all want in, but the stats say that only 10% or so actually buy a property. Save the $$ to do it here, and I imagine you can do it in any market.  When down payments are $50k plus on fha you really have to commit. 

    Best of luck, and also let me know if you want a new w2 in tech as that's my day job :). GL!
