Hi Mordy, 

Try to attend your local REI networking groups and meetups. Connect with as many real estate investors as you can.I like to try to set up a meeting every month with someone I think I can learn from or who could be a potential mentor. I always come full of questions and ready to learn. Many are specific to the individual that I am meeting with but there are some questions that I have taken from John Maxwell's book "Good Leaders Ask Great Questions."

You may want to use them too:

What is the greatest lesson you have learned? - By asking this question I seek their wisdom.

What are you learning now? - This question allows me to benefit from their passion.

How has failure shaped your life? - This question gives insight into their attitude.

Who do you know whom I should know? - This allows me to engage with their network.

What have you read that I should read? - This question directs my personal growth.

What have you done that I should do? - This helps me seek new experiences.

How can I add value to you? - This shows my gratitude and desire to add value to them.

These can be a great starting point for you.
