If you are starting out, DO NOT pay for mentorship
It is pretty amazing to find just how many people are offering "mentorship" for 10s of thousands of dollars to newbies who want to get into real estate. What is more amazing is the amount of people actually buying these programs that can't even afford it. All the information is free on the internet. Paying such a large sum of money to a "mentor" starting out most likely means you are lazy and you are not willing to put in the effort/work. There are so many opportunities for you to learn online absolutely free and/or work free for others while learning in exchange. Reach out to members in your local community or on BP and provide them some sort of value and in return you can learn from them.
If you are really having a tough time and need some more guidance I would gladly meet up with anyone in the San Diego Area for about 20 mins over coffee. This offer will be for anyone that reaches out and sends me a private message this month (Feb 2019) only. I specialize in buy/holds locally as well as OOS and have done close to a dozen deals thus far. I don't sell anything and I get absolutely nothing out of this. I work a W-2 in the local construction industry during the week.
Happy Learning & Investing !

You know what you know, and you don't know what you don't know.
It amazes me that people won't think twice about paying for a college education, taught by professional teachers, as opposed to professionals at what they are teaching, and yet are offended when asked to pay for education for handling millions of dollars, and their future, and legal issues, etc...specific to REI, taught by teachers that are pros at what they are teaching.
Not all teachers/mentors are right for everyone, or are worth what they are paid, but I bet there are nowhere near as many people that would want their money back from college, that would expect their money back from a REI Mentor.
Yes, I mentor, and charge. The main reason I charge is to make sure that my students are serious. My time is valuable, and I don't want to waste it on someone "kicking tires".
