Finding a mentor/coach

[Lacee Beitler]

Hi everyone, My husband and I have a few buy and hold properties, and would like to meet with a real estate coach on a regular basis (weekly, twice a month, whatever works). We feel like this will help us grow our business and network tremendously. Who uses a coach/mentor and has regular meetings or calls with them? Did you know them and have a rapport prior to this, or did you find them solely for coaching? Are they local or out of town? We are still building up our network, but already have many contacts who we would consider "unofficial mentors". Did anyone ask a colleague to mentor you? If so, how did you make that transition from colleague to coach? Of course we would expect to pay a fee or offer some value to that person in some way. We just wanted to get a gauge of what has worked for other investors. Any info would be helpful! Thanks!
