Bird Dog Mentors, Training Lesson 23

To be successful at “real estate bird dogging” It is important to find a mentor because it is usually the most efficient way to learn. But, it can be difficult to find a bird dog to mentor and coach you.  Most seasoned investors do not have the time to mentor every “property locator” that asks them, so you have to bring them something of value.

You do this by proving yourself.  Start by supplying them with good, qualified leads on properties thus saving them time and helping them to make money. Just as investors pick the people they work with and use for “property locators” it is equally important that you pick the right mentors and investors to work with.

You have a responsibility to educate yourself before you approach an investor or potential mentor.  Do not waste their time trying to learn the basics.  Go to a bookstore and buy ten paperback books on real estate investing and read them.  Go online and look for sites devoted to Real Estate investing information and learn as much as you can.  Read articles and participate in online real estate investing forums – they provide a goldmine of information.  And most important of all, go to local real estate seminars to learn and network with investors.

It’s also important that your mentor is someone who will understand the times of frustration or stress, and have a good support system to help you through it. However this works both ways, be there for your mentor and they will be there for you in return!

Finding a bird dog mentor is one of the most important aspects of your Real Estate Bird Dog training.
