Getting started!

Hey everyone! My Name is Lane Johnson. I am a 20 year old college student. A friend and I are looking to begin investing in real estate. We're looking to do some networking and hopefully meet someone willing to mentor us! Especially if anyone has experience investing with a busines partner! We are very new to the business and would really look to learn the ins and outs, where to get started, and how to get started! We live in Kansas City but go to school in St. Louis so help from anyone with experience in either market would be much appreciated!

Mentor's are a great tool, especially starting out! Watch out for committing yourself to one person or company off the bat. You don't want to limit your opportunities immediately. 

If you are ready to learn from the people around you and work hard, I would suggest not shelling out 20k on the real estate training courses out there. Those courses will teach you what you will learn while actively investing.

I believe that working with investors that are doing consistent deals and investors that are just getting the ball rolling are the perfect people to learn from. They won't mind having another Investor learn more about the industry, they want you to succeed... and get deals from you.
