Paid Mentor Worth It?

[Taylor Waters]

Hi all, I spoke with an investor via phone that I met through Reddit. I mentioned to him that I wanted to get started with investing via wholesaling and after some chatting, he brought up his willingness to be a paid mentor for me to get my first deal.

He said he would teach me Real Estate Economics, investor psychology, and how to find and build the right product/deal for an investor

He charges $150 a call if I book a batch of calls or $195 a call if I book one at a time. The frequency would be 3 calls a month that last 1.5-2 hours each. I want to take this as seriously as possible so in my case, is this worth it, or is paying for a coach/mentor unnecessary?

I'm not against paying for education and coaching. I've paid tens of thousands over the years and it has paid off very well.

I just would not pay for wholesaling education. Wholesaling is the hardest real estate strategy.
