Understand the frustration. I was extremely lucky that my family has been in the rental business for a long time. 

I've successfully house hacked two single family properties that are now run as full time student rentals. Happy to chat anytime to provide any insight. 

I think the drumming analogy is interesting, and probably a decent way to look at it. 

I'm sure there are a lot of local meetups in LA and there are likely very experienced investors that go that you could introduce yourself to and strike up a conversation. 

After talking with MANY different types of investors, you're likely going to hear a lot of different things and pieces of advice.  

This is because ultimately there are a ridiculous amount of ways to do RE successfully. There are also a lot of ways to get beat down. 

Hearing different peoples perspective and tailoring that advice to what YOU understand, what YOU gravitate towards, and what fits YOUR lifestyle is best IMO. 

Hope this helps and feel free to reach out if you want to. Good luck!!

Go to

Local reia events and find the people who are actually doing what you want to do. Most gurus only teach and do some real estate on the side.

Make sure to ask yourself what you bring to the table - how can you help them? If you can add value to someone then they will be more inclined to work with you.

Think of it as a job, where you should get paid / worst case you are a free intern

Great to see drummers out here.  Am a drummer/percussionist myself so let's connect.

Yes paying for mentoring/coaching is worth it.  The question to answer is how to get the right one to help you achieve your goals.  Like anything else, pay for the right one and the rewards come but if you pay for the wrong one, you will be disappointed to some degree.  

Let's connect and talk both subjects!

Hi!

I'm currently working with a mentor to get my second investment property.  Early stages, but he's been great about answering all of my questions and helping me figure out what's right for me.  He was also a former drummer, which makes me wonder if you guys would click. His name is Aaron Ameen and here's his site. https://www.bing.com/search?q=aaron%20ameen&FORM=ARPSEC&... 

He also has a podcast that you can listen to, if you want to get a feel for how he interacts first. The Hybrid Real Estate Professional.

Good luck!
