is it worth paying someone to coach me on how to find good deals and how to fund them and make sure my schedule is on track?

@Devin Mann I'll give you your first bit of coaching.  Assume everyone is throwing you under the bus.  Mentor, coach, wholesaler, realtor.

If they can make money off you there is always a good chance they are looking  out for their interest and not yours.

@Devin Mann , if you really want to be taken seriously, you might like to think about refraining from posting questions like this one:-

People are always out there to make money for themselves, but if it's the guidance you need that'll propel you to your goal, then go for it. I think most people will tell you that you can find all the info you need on this site..and I agree..the problem is that people who are starting out don't know what to ask or where to look. In these cases, a mentor might be very useful since they can better guide and assist you through the process. Google is out there, but there are still many who don't know how to use it. Good luck.
