A mentor is someone who serves as a trusted counselor or guide. Working with a real estate investing mentor is one of the most full-proof methods of success in the business. There is nothing more valuable than the guidance of an experienced real estate investing mentor. This applies to all – seasoned investors, and agents just starting to dip their toes into investing!
Why Work with a Mentor?
For starters, it’s hard to begin any business venture without any sort of prior knowledge. Even with some research, real estate investing isn’t the sort of thing you just jump into head-first and start. It takes preparation, knowing the right people, and having the right sort of guidance and training. Therefore, a real estate investing mentor can help you get ready, educate you, and walk you on the right path of knowledge and success.
Who is NOT a Real Estate Investing Mentor?
Self-proclaimed business persons who have barely done any deals
Your friend Joe Schmo that sold that one house… in 2007
That sketchy family friend who sells timeshares
An individual who you feel the need to get close to because they have the success you want
Who IS a Real Estate Investing Mentor?
A person that you trust, admire, and respect
Someone who has an impressive portfolio of investment deals
An individual whose work experience and personality align with you and your goals
Someone who is willing to work with you one-on-one on investment deals
An overall passion for real estate investing is what drives them to succeed
(If person has also worked as a real estate agent, it’s a major plus)
Finding the Right Mentor
Given what has been said above, ask yourself if you already know someone who meets the criteria of a real estate investing mentor. Chances are, one or even two people pop into your head. However, if nobody seems to some to mind, we have some tips on finding one.
