REIA CLUB Discover the All NEW BREIA / MD-REIA Mentorship Program Learn about the only mentor program in the country that puts up 100% of the funds for every student’s deal! What are the 3 reasons why you should choose a local mentor? Real Estate investing has become one of the most popular ways to get out of the 9-to-5 lifestyle and become financially free. Have you ever heard the saying: There are more self-made millionaires through real estate than all other industries combined? Since the explosion of popular television programming based on people making a lot of money flipping real estate, there are even more people today that are trying and succeeding in the business. Part of the reason for this, and based on the popularity of these television shows, is the fact there are more so called “gurus” or “men- tors” for real estate investing than ever! Every time you get on Facebook or YouTube, there is an advertisement for someone that wants to teach you how to become rich flipping proper- ties using their “system”. The biggest challenges for these national mentors and their “systems”, are also the rea- sons why you should choose a local mentor! HERE ARE THE 3 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD CHOOSE A LOCAL MENTOR... 1.) YOUR MENTOR HAS TO BE ACCESSIBLE! When learning any trade, it is almost impossible to not have any hands on training involved in the process. This is especially true for Real Estate investing. Your mentor has to be able to show you the ropes firsthand. It is truly more of an apprenticeship than mentoring. Many of those involved with a national mentor com- plain of not being able to actually contact their mentor with questions. More importantly, when it comes time to put a prop- erty in contract to flip for a profit, their mentor is not there to help them negotiate the deal and sell the prop- erty. Even if the national mentor program assigns you to an investor in your state, there is not much guaran- teeing that they will be any more accessible. 2.) YOUR MENTOR HAS TO HAVE EXPERIENCE IN YOUR MARKET! If you are going to flip houses in Houston Texas, don’t you think it would make sense to have a mentor that actually flips houses in Houston?
