It is useful to find the specific real estate mentoring program that encapsulate each area you want to improve -marketing, time management, business growth strategies, and specific processes or SOP's for outsourcing, recruiting power team members, and a proven blueprint to follow outlining the workflow for doing different types of deals.
Invariably, each real estate mentoring will have a specific strength, and it's likely there's one out there that does all of this well. By modeling the best traits of each business person, you have an even better chance of true success.
Make a list of all the areas of your business you would like to improve and then consider which entrepreneur seems to encapsulate success in that area. Research that person to find out what they have to say about that specific area of their business. Do they use a specific service or have a special policy that makes that area of their investment business work especially well?
Work to meet your mentors in person either at meetings or seminars so that you can ask specific questions and hear what they have to say (plus the hugely added benefit of being able to network with them as potential Joint Venture business partners on future deals).
In many cases, real estate investor mentors speak at seminars and are usually willing to grant a new entrepreneur a few minutes. For the cost of a lunch, you may be able to glean some very useful tips from someone who has been in the industry for years!
Bear in mind though, that as much as you may be investing into a particular real estate mentoring program, the mentor is investing personally in yourself...and often, entrepreneurs of this caliber are ones who are self-described 'Type A' individuals, and expect that you move forward and do the prescribed work.
A successful real estate mentoring program can teach how to build a rock solid investment business that can help you generate a 6 figure bank account, and realize 7 figure gains in as little as 7 months...so seek out those who are successful now and be willing to listen to what they have to say.
