Hey all! 

So I'm here in Denver and honestly I need help! I want to get into wholesaling(main reason I want to use that help break into buying commercial properties) but I have no clue where to start and I really need a mentor. So are there any local resources or anyone that's willing to take me under their wing for alittle bit?

Denver is definitely a crazy market right now.  If it weren't so darned far away for me to self manage, I'd start looking at Pueblo or Grand Junction, because the entire front range from Colorado Springs to Fort Collins is nuts.  

I have no experience wholesaling - I'm buy & hold.  I'm also planning to be at the April 27 meetup, so if you want to talk at all, I'd love to do so.  Just a warning - I'm pretty introverted and find it hard to mingle and start conversations, so I'll be the woman in the corner.  But I do enjoy talking to people about topics I'm passionate about.

    Jerome,

    Welcome!  Denver is a tough market, and finding a mentor even tougher.  I've been asked a few dozen times, but like most people who do this full time, I have no time to take on anybody.  Thats a full time job on its own!  I do have time to talk to you sometime at my meetup or over the phone or over coffee sometime.

     If you want to find a mentor, I suggest getting involved on the site and posting in the forums. Below are some links to help you get started.

    Find and connect with other BP members that are in your area: http://www.biggerpockets.com/meet

    Set up keyword alerts to be notified of the topics that interest you: http://www.biggerpockets.com/alerts

    Read the Beginner’s Guide: http://www.biggerpockets.com/real-estate-investing

    Check out the BP Podcast and start learning the lingo while you drive, cook, exercise, etc.: http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/category/podcast/

    Going to @Anson Young's Denver meetup on the 27th is also a must if you can make it.

    Good luck and hope to see you around the site!
