Hello bp I'm looking for a mentor to help with my rei career. I am just beginning to hand out my business cards to anyone and everyone. I am also sending out yellow letters to absentee owners and posting flyers throughout town. If anyone has any advise I am more then open to hear it thank you.
@Joshua Swanger there have been a lot of newbies looking for mentors but the key is what can you do for the? Being a mentor takes valuable time - what is your focus in being a Real Estate Investor? It sounds like you want to buy properties but are you sure? Why are you sending out yellow letters - to buy properties yourself or to wholesale? Have you built up your buyers list? Do you have contracts in place ready to fill-in the blanks? Financing - are you prepared?
So enough of the questions, but more for guidance; search BP for mentors - read what others have posted when looking for a mentor. You will see the biggest part is knowing your direction and knowing the terms. If you are handing out business cards and sending out yellow letters are you prepared for the questions? Finding a local mentor is critical to your success as they will know the local laws and the ins and outs. Utilizing more than one person is also a choice - have multiple tools in your portfolio to use!
