Is a mentor necessary?

[Brian Stone]

This is a topic from another thread I created, but is it absolutely necessary to have a mentor?? Other people do it without a mentor, I think I can too. The mentor I have chosen wants $500 a month for 6 months, for a total of $6000. He has never mentored before but he has a very successful wholesaling business.

Do I really need a mentor? Can't I just get out there and do it?

Brian,

I am new to REI and I feel a mentor is invaluable! I found my mentor from networking and he is NOT charging me a dime!! He is helping me because he sees the true desire I have to learn from his experience. He is a multi-millionaire with many years of experience and owns a lot of real estate. We are getting together again this afternoon to discuss how things work and look for a property to work on together as my first project.

Best of luck to you!
