How do you become a real estate investor?

Is it normal to pay for mentorship when you want become a real estate investor?

• Just a quick question, I've been reading about the subject and something that keeps repeating itself is the value of having a mentor when you're first learning the ropes. I mean is that a service I have to pay for or like how does that even work?

• Answer:

  I agree that having a mentor is very important to gaining success in real estate, but you don't pay a mentor out of pocket for the service. I mean you may buy him/her the occasional lunch, but not pay him a salary. Instead I basically became a slave to my mentor to do his busy work freeing his time to gain more customers. every now and then he would share a commission with me, but the true prize was learning the business from him and gaining the hands on experience
