Hi @Augustin Philibert - welcome to BP! The best mentors to start with are right here through forums, blog posts, books, and podcasts! I have no idea about the Connecticut market, but there are undoubtedly some local investor meet ups in your area that would be beneficial to attend.

We are having a meeting tomorrow night from 6 to 8 at East Lyme High School. It is free to attend and no one is trying to sell anything. We just sit around and talk about real estate.

Augustin Philibert when looking for a mentor, you should start out with a statement about what yo can provide that mentor. Talk about your drive, and your willingness to help people. If you are seeking a mentor simply to "make $35k" deal, you will not get a response. I'm offering you some unsolicited advice (I know:), but I hope that this helps you in your search for one. I mentor some guys, and there is always a little give and take. Or, there has to be a compelling reason for me to provide my knowledge. Normally if someone doesn't identify $$ as their driving force, that helps:) find your "Why," and share it with others. My $.02

@Augustin Philibert there is a meet-up in Rocky Hill and we have a meet-up in Fairfield, Connecticut once a month (link below), there are also a couple of REIA meetings too. All of these are a little far from New London, but it might be worth coming to start learning.
