Having a mentor personally show you how to do real estate investing deals will make a huge difference in your business. Here’s why.
 

“There are many topics that I’d like you to discuss though I believe it to be of utmost importance for beginners to have a laid out plan of action. In other words, anyone can read a book or manual but having someone show them what to do in a certain order, what order to perform it in…” – David Caps

 
Joe: He’s looking for a system to make this happen. Well, first of all, let’s talk about having somebody show you how to do it. If you want to learn to be a diesel mechanic (and by the way, I know nothing about mechanics I can barely change the spark plugs in my old 1972 Volkswagen that I used to have. I don’t do any of my own work anymore) – but anyway, if I would not know what a spark plug was, if somebody was standing over me pointing it out to me, it would be a whole lot different than me reading it in a manual.
 
Joe: It’s the same if you’re doing diesel mechanics and you’re trying to look under the hood trying to figure what the heck all these things are. If you have an experienced, professional mechanic standing next to you telling you, ‘This is the wrench you need. This is the screw or bolt’ (or whatever are in engines or whatever it is you have to turn), telling you exactly how to turn it: ‘Turn it two turns and then over here, then you’ve got to drain this thing, then you’ve got to plug this in over here,’ etc. I mean, if he shows you exactly what to do, it’s going to be a lot easier than if you’ve read it in a manual and you saw the pictures and that type of thing. So, it’s going to be much better if you can have someone who’s going to take you through this process.
 
Joe: I have a mentor program. I expect you guys know about this. The “Six Month Mentor Program”. It’s at ZeroDownInvesting.com. Spell it out – z e r o down investing.com. That tells you about the mentor program.
 
Joe: But it doesn’t have to be me. You can get mentored by another really experienced investor. Just make sure that they’re making money. There’s so many investors out there who talk about, ‘I’ve got 30 houses,’ but they’re going bankrupt or their cash flow is horrible or they don’t have a system in place and they’re working 90 hours a week.
 
Joe: Make sure you’re working with somebody who knows how to do this stuff, who knows how to implement a system and get the process going. That’s going to make a big difference for you. Good luck with it.
