If you are going down the path of joining a mentoring group – be sure to do your due dilligence on the mentor groups just as you would on an investment property.  Make sure you compare as many mentor groups as possible and look at exactly what they are offering – whether it is an opportunity for them to sell you a property or an opportunity for you to learn how to source and buy a property that is right for you.  Be aware that Positive Real Estate is exactly that – a Real Estate Company that has properties for sale.  From my experience they tend to mould your strategy around what they have on their books at the time.  Having said that they do have some very good information on what is happening in various markets at any particular time.
