Good afternoon! I am a licensed realtor here in the Central Florida area. I originally got into real estate for the investing aspect of it. I am looking to take that step and start to gain experience.

@Kwame Locks in addition to the advice of going to meetups, here's one strategy I think that would help you find someone to mentor you.
As you go to the meetups meet as many people as you can, try and find more about their business so you have a rough idea of what they do and focus on, but more importantly try and ask them what problems they currently have or what they're struggling with.
Now most flippers will say deals or money, so see if there's anything beyond that. Maybe they wish they were doing more social media, maybe they wish someone would help with their calendar/inbox, maybe someone wants to start their own meetup, maybe they need help paying invoices and bills, maybe it's they need someone to drive them around so they can work instead of driving.
Then, find the 2-4 people you resonate with the most and make them specific proposals. Something like I want to learn from you about X, and I can help you in return by doing helping find deals, Y & Z. Make X, Y & Z specific to that person.
It takes a lot more time, and more thought, but if you do that I would almost guarantee you'd find someone in a couple of months.
