Request to interview investors who mentor or manage birddogs

[Jeff Plummer]

Howdy Investors,

For a side project I'm working on, I'd love to interview investors who mentor new investors or work with deal finders (bird dogs).  I'd like to talk to you about what is good and bad about mentoring.  How it has helped, and what pain points you have.  Ultimately I'm trying to learn the good and bad of mentoring from both the mentor and mentee perspective.

If you are in the area (I live in gilbert and work in Tempe) I'd love to take you to lunch and pick your brain.  Or if you only have time for an email / forum thread discussion, that works for me too.

Initial Questions to Start the Discussion:

• How many people do you mentor at a time?
• How much time do you spend mentoring?
• Do you have different mentoring services (paid vs free) and how do they differ?
• Why do you mentor?  What are the benefits of being a mentor?
• Would you recommend other investors should mentor?
• What makes mentoring difficult? What pain points do you experience mentoring?
• What aspect of mentoring takes the most time?
• What aspect of mentoring provides the most value?
• If you could wave a magic wand and make mentoring better for you, what would the magic wand do? 

Thanks for the help,

Jeff Plummer

Note:  Starting off in the phoenix forum hoping I can find local people first.
