Hey Gaige,
Find some people that are doing what you want to be doing in real estate and add value to them. My guess would be giving them deals on painting their places.
Best of luck!

Congrats on getting started. Getting a mentor is one of the best ways to speed up the real estate learning process. What part of real estate are you trying to learn more about? @Gaige Luther

@Ryan Mainwaring I’m actually an autobody painter and I’m working for a giant company just wanting to start out I have a lot of experience painting cars and houses and just about anything. I guess my overall goal would be to find a property that can launch me into a career owning my own autobody shop has always been a dream of mine but I’m realizing it’s a lot easier with real estate to get what I want

@Brandon Goldsmith commercial real estate seems to be the end goal but might just have to start out with a house back with a nice garage or something like that

Being a painter can be an advantage. Working for a large company has given you a skill set you can leverage. Have you considered offering your painting services to homeowners, contractors and realtors that have clients in need? When tenants move out a fresh coat of paint is needed. General contractors many times are looking to sub out painting jobs. You can earn additional income and more importantly, build business relationships that will help you reach your goals. Let everyone you meet know you are interested in owning real estate and in particular, your own shop. Opportunities will begin to appear. I am a general contractor and working with realtors, property managers, homeowners and other tradesmen has opened up many opportunities.
If you want a mentor, ask what value can you bring to that person. Many times those seeking a mentor are interested primarily in getting, instead of giving. A mentors time is valuable, so we have to make it worth their time and effort to mentor us. Offering something of value that benefits the mentor is key.
