Who here believes in mentors? Raise your hand 🙋♀️
Not many, huh? Yeah — I used to be exactly like that too.
I honestly don’t know what got into me back then,
or how I even ended up with my first mentor
(and why he was British?!),
but somehow I agreed to pay a significant amount of money
for one hour a week
where I was asked a lot of questions
I really didn’t want to face.
During my work with him, I completely changed my direction.
That shift was a direct result of a mindset change.
The result:
I moved into a real estate niche that fit my personality much better —
something I genuinely enjoy
and that also generates more income than before
(MTR by the room).
That mentor became a springboard to the next stage of my relationship with mentors.
The next step was joining a year-long group with a sort-of business mentor
(based in the U.S.), completely unrelated to real estate.
It was pretty spiritual — and honestly, a bit crazy.
But I took away insights that completely changed how I look at life.
Out of everything I learned there (and it was a lot),
I’ll share just one thing.
A sentence that kept coming up again and again:
“Look for the blessing in disguise.”
Meaning:
Something undesirable just happened.
Could it actually be a blessing —
a better path opening up,
even if I can’t see it yet?
In most cases, I later discovered that it truly was.
After finishing that year with the group —
and with a lot of faith —
I jumped straight into the next mentor.
This time, an American real estate investor
with a very strong belief in multifamily.
I wasn’t looking for multifamily at all —
that just happened to be his world.
For every excuse I gave him —
“I can’t because…”
“I’m not sure because…”
“I don’t want to because…”
He forced me to ask myself:
Where are these excuses really coming from?!
I worked with him for six months, and the result was this:
I took a long, hard look at my portfolio
and realized I had to make a change.
• Property #1 — sold
• Property #2 — refinanced
• Property #3 — renovated and converted to MTR
• Plus three new properties purchased in 2025
This man kicked me out of my comfort zone
and forced me to stretch the capital I had
into more properties
and significantly higher income.
“When the student is ready, the teacher appears” —
and all those clichés 🙂.
To sum it up:
Hiring a mentor isn’t cheap.
But every single one of them created a meaningful shift
in how I think —
and that was worth many times more than what I paid.
Adios amigos! 🌴

So what exactly is Mid-Term by the Room?!
