Paying for mentorship

Nate Garvey

I am getting started in real estate investing, with plans to buy my first rental by the end of this year or early next.  Is paid mentorship worth the price?  How do you vet the person to make sure they are who they say they are?  I subscribe to someone's newsletter I connected with on Linked In.  He offers $50/month coaching with direct access to him, and other benefits.  The price seems reasonable, but I'm not sure how to vet his credentials.  What is a reasonable amount to pay for a legit coach?

What are you hoping to get from a paid mentorship you can't get for free on websites like this and its family of podcast, your library, and local meetups?

I'd exhaust every free option before considering paying for a mentor. Success in real estate investing isn't something you can pay someone to give you. It's built over years of saving money, learning, meeting new people, and patience.

I frequently post how to find a free mentor like in post like THIS
