Burning questions about mentoring

[Nataliya Seager]

Hello, 

I am hearing different suggestions about having a mentor. I know this subject has been discussed numerous times and yet it still seems to be a "burning" question for many newbies (I am one of them). I am confused:  some investors are for it and some are telling me I have to figure it out on my own. 

And yet almost every person interviewed  on Bp podcasts ( successful investors) bring up subject of having a mentor to help them start out. I just heard Paul Moor advising  " find a mentor"  as you stat out in RE investing and he suggested finding it on BP. 

Can anyone recommend one? Does it make more sense to have a mentor who is local ? 

Appreciate any input

 I actually prefer a mentor AND actively participating in a Mastermind Group. Most people are not as familiar with the mastermind concept so DM if you have any questions! Masterminds are great regardless of your experience level just geared toward who wants the extra push and accountability.
