This posting seems really salesy to me at first impression. What type of things should I be looking out for when looking for a mentor and working for real estate investors to get in on the industry?

Quite honestly there are some good things that can be found on Craigslist but looking for a mentor in real estate is probably not one of them.
You might join a real estate club in your area and start attending those meeting to network which might lead to a more fruitful relationship with someone who maybe willing to offer guidance and perhaps some mentoring support.
Mentoring someone isn't a paid profession it usually is a byproduct of ones advocation and passion for real estate (not to mention their desire to expand their own network).
A mentor knows the more they give the more they will receive back.
There are many books, podcasts, and webinars here in BP that can serve as a mentorship program. They cover almost all topics, situations, and investment styles you encounter in real estate investing. There's really no secrets that can't be found in all of the above mentioned.
Listen, watch, and learn. Then, go, do. If you have questions as you're doing then come back to these threads and pose a question. You will surely get your question answered are directed to a place to uncover the answer.
