Which paid mentorship communities are you a member of?

I am nearly two years into my investing journey and have six properties under me. I have finally realized that I need to be part of a community and have a mentor because whenever I hit a problem, I get super stressed out and have no one to turn to for reflection or advice. I am researching all of them at the moment and I wanted to ask, what paid for membership communities are you a part of that has been supportive?
I want peership. I got six properties under my belt without being part of a community and now I am facing challenges that 1) I do not know if they are real challenges or part of the normal course of business or 2) how to resolve them or 3) if I am doing it right. While I appreciate your naysay, what I am looking for - reassurance and oversight - can't be replaced with a Youtube video.

Hi @Amelia Cooper, welcome to the BP Forum! What type of properties do you currently own and where? Are you looking to acquire more properties?

Hey @Amelia Cooper. There are many folks on BP that would be willing to support you, but I think it might help us here at the forum if we understood an example of a "challenge" you've faced that in hindsight, perhaps you could have dealt with more quickly or efficiently using someone else's recommendation? Perhaps this includes tenant screening, drywall contractors, cash out refi lenders, etc.
@Amelia Cooper totally get the feeling. I was looking for the same thing, although it sounds like you were ahead of me. I wanted to pay someone to help me scale and be strategic. It was dumb luck coming across Donato at Bright Investor.

This was the most arrogant, condescending, uninformed, mansplained response that I had to re-read it several times before I realized it wasn't parody. It's stuffed with trite and overused clichés and spoken as if you copied and pasted a James Arthur Ray 1997 seminar script.
The thickness of my skin is not indicative of my desire for community and peership outside of my own echo chamber. If I didn't feel like it would be a waste of time to list them, I would name the litany of achievements and demonstrations of resilience I possess. I can only imagine what you have diddled up in your mind about me - and it's probably not that I grew up in foster care, or that I was homeless, or that I built not one, two, three but four businesses from the ground up. You probably don't know that I have no nuclear family, or that I got by on wits and stubbornness, or that I'm buying in the same state I was homeless in so I can triumph with multiple homes and change my story, day by day. You don't know I got my bachelor's in business in 11 months or my MBA in 4.5, or that I live with high-functioning C-PTSD and still manage to strength train, own two businesses currently, go to therapy or take ice showers all without someone sitting by my side telling me I have to do it.
The same thinking that made you feel as if your comment on my self-reliance was useful is the same thinking that assertions like mine are wasted on so I don't actually care if any of this lands, except hopefully to set an example for other readers that may give them pause next time they consider responding to someone's genuine question like C-grade bumper sticker armchair therapist.
Check out BrightInvestor. I did a diamond mentorship with Donato- I think it was $3600 for the year. Send me a message if you want more details. I'm very, very pleased with the results.
I also looked at Rod Kleif and Michael Blank. Both mentorship's cost north of $20k, and both kind of push to do big syndications, which wasn't my jam. I wanted to do mid sized multis using personal capital to fund down payments.
agree with you, I would try to just form a peer group with local investors though. are you going to meetups and meeting local folks? that's the best thing to do.
Wow, it was certainly not meant this way. Sounds like you have already accomplished a lot.. anyways, the BP comunity is here to help - just post your question!
