Hi all,
I'm new to the real estate investing world. I'm very excited and committed to the process! I'm looking for advice on where to find an Accountability Partner and/or a Mentor. I am actively analyzing properties, but I would love to have opinion / second set of eyes from someone who ideally is more seasoned then I am. Any advice on how to find a Mentor?
Are you currently a Real Estate agent in California? The reason I ask is because with most, if not all brokerages, there is the option to join a team within the brokerage firm that will not only offer you training but also be able to mentor you and keep you accountable. My experience with this is limited to eXp Realty, which I know offers both Mentorship programs and the ability to join a team.
As far as options that don't involve being a real estate agent that I am aware of, but have no experience with, there are several real estate investing mentorship/coaching programs from the likes of Grant Cardone, Ryan Pineda, Graham Stephan, etc. I'd say if that's the route you're interested in, check out their youtube and social content to see if any of what they say resonates with you, and maybe look into any programs they may have.

I hope that helps and best of luck 馃馃崁
Thanks, Ryan! I am not a Real Estate agent. Currently looking to make my first real estate investment this year, and looking for a mentor/network while I am in the process. Appreciate the advice, I will check out the suggested YouTube/social media pages!
Another option I was thinking is looking into mastermind groups on places like Facebook and LinkedIn. Also like BiggerPockets suggests and is a big fan of, go on meetup.com and look for local investor meetups. From my experience they are very casual and full of likeminded people who are excited to share their knowledge with new people. These routes will more than likely be much more cost effective than paying for a coach or mentor.

Such a great idea, I haven't thought of going to meetup.com. I'm checking it out now. I really appreciate it, thanks for being so helpful!
Hi Paulina I'm in Orange County Ca south of LA. If you are not too far from Tustin Ca you should come to a RE investor mix tonight at 6pm and make new connections. Who knows you might meet your future mentor or just other like minded people. This group that meets is all experience levels new, seasoned all types. If you like more details message me and I'll send you all the info. Hope to see you there.

Hey Paulina, welcome to BiggerPockets! Start listening to the BiggerPockets podcast starting at the very beginning. Start growing your network, look on Facebook/BiggerPockets for different events, and get to know the local lenders/brokers. You can also consult with lenders, brokers and ask them for suggestions on who might be a good real estate mentor most will be able to provide one.
Try to think of different ways you can add value to that person. What are your strengths? For example are you experienced in social media marketing? Could you offer a mentor some tips? This way its not just a one way street. Best of luck on your real estate journey!

Great suggestion on providing a two-way street. I was thinking about how I could provide/what type of value someone else may benefit from, so these ideas are perfect. Thanks, Steve!

Hi Carlos! Thank you for letting me know about this event. I definitely would love to join. I am currently visiting my family members (not in California). If there is another meet up in Feb, I would love to know about it.
