Hello there everyone. This is my first time posting on Bigger Pockets. I have recently begun watching the youtube podcasts and also read the book Multi- Family Millions by David Lindahl. I live in Southern California and I was wondering how or where can I find a mentor around my area that would be willing to take me on. I am only 18 turning 19 but I have heard that real estate is for everyone. How can I prove myself to be willing to do what it takes to make it out in the real estate playing field
I work for Dave Lindahl, let me know any questions.
You might consider an entry level property management job, gets you in the field, the good companies invest in training for new people. My buddies in the field tell me AIMCO is good at training.

@Mark Davis Welcome to BP! I think the best (and free) way to get involved would be to go to a local REI meetup and connect with fellow investors. You might be able to offer what some of the investors do not have: time. You can drive for dollars, cold call owners, whatever the investors could use some help with in their business in exchange for being able to learn from them.

I think the biggest thing is to not just showing potential mentors how motivated and capable you are, but rather actually being motivated and capable. Be ready to put in long hours with what will likely equate to little pay to begin. If you can make it through that, the sky is the limit!
