Finding mentors at local REI Clubs

[DeeinAustin]

On your original question, don't forget that you can also use some of the yahoo investment groups as a tool. Many the investment clubs have an internal email list or group on Yahoo. You can often send an email to the group asking for mentor recommendations. The mentor may not necessarily respond, but maybe some of the investors know of a good person who can help you.

Here's a little tangent. How about people that 'THINK' they want to be mentored.

Jeff,

I have read almost every book or study program offered up by the "gurus", but I still have times where, the more I learn, the more I realize I NEED to learn. Sometimes I just feel like I'm 11 years old again, and "grown ups" are talking.

I too would desperately love a mentor. I have considered paying for some of the mentoring programs that the gurus offer, but as mentioned here, I'm also very nervous about being ripped off. Too many horror stories about "boot camps"; peple plunking down $1500 for systems only to be hustled for $5000 'boot camps', only to be hustled for $15,000 more boot camps.

Two questions:

1. You mentioned Carlton Sheets. Have you had any experience with thier coaching program?

2. Where in CT are ya? I'm in northern NJ. And are you looking for another protege??

Greetings LeiterCIA,

I am also in Northern Virginia.  I belong to both the Capital Area REIA and the Beltway REIA.  Do you go to either of these?  If so I'd love to get together to chat.  And to any others of you that attend these meetings as well.

You know we wear those name tags - so that will help identify me.  I am a middle-aged caucasian woman, (relatively) thin, (relatively) attractive, with shoulder length brown hair and glasses.  I am very interactive and I smile a lot - I shouldn't be to hard to find.

I look forward to seeing you there.

Debra

Thanks very much for the invite Debra, but I'm actually in Northern New Jersey. Getting down to VA might be a bit of a stretch for me.

Thanks much... hoping I can find someone up in this general area.

My bad LeiterCIA - I should have been paying more attention.  No. VA is definitely toooo far to come for any REIA meeting.

The invite still goes for any Northern Virginians out there.
