Placeholder draft. The hosts still need to replace this copy.

Women real estate investors talking at a WREI Connected meetup
Quick answer

The most useful mentor for a woman starting out is usually someone you meet at a meetup, not a paid guru. WREI Connected chapters put women real estate investors in the same room on purpose. PLACEHOLDER — the founders will add what they look for in a mentor.

PLACEHOLDER pillar.

Where do women find a real estate mentor?

Most of the useful mentoring our hosts talk about started at a women's real estate investing meetup. WREI Connected exists so that room is in more cities.

What does a good mentor do?

A good mentor answers a specific deal question, introduces you when it helps, and does not ask you to recruit anyone. They still invest.

What should you walk away from?

Walk away from guaranteed returns, pressure to wire money, and anyone who will not let you ask about the downside. Bring the story to a WREI Connected meetup and let the room react.

Frequently asked questions

Should I pay for a mentor?

PLACEHOLDER. Be careful with anyone who sells a seat in a program as the only way in. A WREI Connected meetup is free, and many women real estate investors will answer a specific question.

What should I ask a mentor?

Ask what they would do differently on their first deal, and what number they wish they had checked. Skip vague questions about mindset.
