Searching for Mentor in Boston

Account Closed

Hi Everyone,

I'm currently searching for a Boston area real estate mentor. As a brief background, I graduate this spring so I have about a month before I will begin working again full-time.

What you get:
- 20 to 30 hours per week of unpaid labor, which can be anything real estate/landlord-related of your choosing. Whether you want me to sit on the MLS scanning properties all day or you want me running back and forth to your properties handling day-to-day issues, I can do it. I live in Brighton and can acess any part of the city via car or T.

- Potential partner/investor in the near future. I am currently finishing paying off student loans, but my day-time job pays $150,000+ per year pretax. I plan on using a large percentage of discretionary income for real estate investing.

What I am looking for:
- A Boston area real estate investor with at least 7 years experience and 4+ properties.

- An investor focused on long-term growth and cash flow (not wholesaling, flipping properties). Buy and hold investors.

- Someone that can offer me an inside of look at the nuts and bolts of real estate investing. I will work incredibly hard for you in exchange for a legitimate education on how you operate your business.

I understand that this post will bring a lot of referrals to the Starting Out forum page, or to the How to Find a Mentor page. I've done a lot of reading and decided I want hands-on experience, so until I can regularly meet real estate investors in person (I will be attending the Black Diamond meeting in the near future), this is how I am searching for a mentor.

If you believe that you may have an opportunity, please send me a message so that we can discuss further.

Thanks so much,

Bill

Hi @Account Closed

@Paul Timmins knows a ton of people, and he is a nice guy. Go Eagles!

Note, you have to bring something to the relationship to the mentor.

Think about it from the mentor's perspective.

See

My #1 point as I coach in cheap markets like Pitt PA, Cleveland OH, etc, is...

How can you bring incredible value to someone that you want to teach you how to fish, not just get fed today?

Think Rich Dad Poor Dad. Will you work for knowledge instead of cash?
