Hello everyone. I want to dive deeper into real estate investing and I think having a mentor would be a great way to help me get to my goal faster.
I was wondering how you would go about finding one specific to your needs. I plan on househacking and I wouldn't think that I would want a mentor who flips homes since thy wouldn't have any personal experience with what I want to do.
Any thoughts or answers are super helpful! Thank you and happy Thanksgiving!

@Alec Jacobs, Couple of ways you could go about this. Several agents focus on house hacking. I'm with the FI Team in Denver, Colorado, and that's exactly what we do. We teach people how to house hack and be successful!
I highly suggest attending local meetups and online webinars to meet other investors and agents who you could learn from. You may find people who you pay to get advice from, or you could figure out how to give value to people and in turn they will help you get started in your investment journey!

If you are looking for a multi-family property that has sufficient cash flow to be a viable house hack option, attend local real estate networking events and build relationships with the brokerage community that represents the properties that fit your acquisition criteria. Also, resist the temptation to pay for any paid mentorship or courses. Anyone who charges a fee outside of normal real estate transactional expenses would be taking advantage of you.

My mentor flips and he understands what a hostel is as well (today's version of house hacking). If your specific needs are based on real estate then I can get you in contact with him.
