Anyone here had any success using a paid coach/mentor ?

Has anyone ever had any success using a paid real estate coach or mentor? I understand most are expensive, and most people probably can’t afford to spend 25k-30k just to boost there investing career. But if it actually helped you reach financial freedom that much faster, would it be money well spent?

Hi. I took a few real estate and stock trading classes when I first got started. I paid for myself and my wife so we would never argue about investing. We took 5 courses. I learned alot of information and gained alot of confidence. However as i started investing i realized that alot of the coaches were American and that alot of what they taught didn't work in Canada. I just modified what I learned to my market. 

Now that I have been investing a while, i have a coach/mentor. We meet weekly. And i find it really helps because he has more experience than i do, and we talk about different problems and he gives his perspective.  It's always good to have guidance.
