Is Boots on the Ground by Brian Grimes a Legit Program

Is Boots on the Ground by Brian Grimes a Legit Program

Member since 2024 · 2 posts · 2 votes

Hi team, 

I just had a call with a sales agent to sign up for  the Boots on the Ground program. It is a program that they do everything for you from finding the property, rehabing it, renting it or selling it in Philadelphia. It is a done for you kind of program. I am wondering if anyone has any experience with this program that could share their thoughts. It sounds like a good opportunity and I want to pull the trigger but I wanted to get some reviews since the program is a high ticket of $15K I couldn't find much online about this program or Brian Grimes. 

Thank you so much!

Absolutely NOT! I was in this program, simply for the "boots on the ground" @3k/month in Philly to test out two deals there. The value for us was basically paying 3k/month for a project manager, which we built into our reno costs and fit our model. I'm a seasoned investor, lend to other investors, and have done deals in other markets with strategic partners there, but this was not as done for you as he sells it and we knew that going in. We wanted to test out the lower income stuff though. Currently stuck in two deals I'm struggling to sell in areas I don't want to own. The value in what Brian brings is that IF you find good deals there and WANT TO do them, being in his program, his contractor will front the reno money until you get construction draws back from your fix and flip loan. That allows you to get into more deals (that's great if those deals are meeting your goals, and terrible if not). However, I have the suspicion that he's in bed with his contractor, getting a cut on top what his platform costs you. The renovations his crew did were actually pretty good though. Philly is a tough market to sell in right now, with lots of inventory. Our 5 unit is fully rented, but our duplex is struggling to rent one side. Also, the section 8 rents he uses in his proformas are tough to get, at least in Philly. So, that inflates the ROI on his progromas. Shame on me, I let a couple partners talk me into testing this, and have regretted it since. Expensive lesson learned. Find a mentor you know, that you don't have to pay and build a good team around you.

     Why are you paying $15k for a program for them to do everything for you?

    I can see paying for a program where you learn something but this sounds like they do it all. What do you get for $15k?

    1. Never pay. That’s my philosophy.

    2. Never buy without personally inspecting and approving the property and INDEPENDENTLY, INDEPENDENTLY, INDEPENDENTLY, verifying everything from values to market rates, to approving tenant selection procedures and standards, to repairmen on standby, to everything else in Christendom that you can thing of.


    I am not a fan of out-of-state investing, especially for those with less than 50 years of experience, and for them, they’re probably too old for the hassle.

    @Chris Seveney Thank you for your reply. It is a done for your type of program but they do teach you how to do it as well. They have lessons to go through and weekly calls to join as well plus one on one with Brian. They have the option in which you do it with them and the other one in which they do it for you. The return would be $50K profit per deal in 5 months. They try to hit that goal and have been successful at that, he told me. Just trying to get started and although there is plenty of information out there, I thought the value was in getting the first deal with them and then learn how to replicate it. With the profit from the first deal I would pay for the initial investment technically.

     I would ask for 20 people who have paid that and have gotten $50k in the first six months. If there were that many people who were that successful there would be a lot more information about it out there.

     If they replicate that kind of profit reliably, what would they need you for? You are going to be $15k poorer with nothing to show for it. 

    Anyone who is advertising an "easy way", you are the product. There are no "easy ways" in real estate. To make real money in this business requires busting ***. It's pure BS that you're going to pay $15k and someone's going to bring you a $50k profit. Like Chris said, forget about finding 20 people that have done it - find 5. They're not out there because that would be one of the greatest money-making machines ever invented.

    Please do not pay any guru $15k for this program. You will learn more reading on this forum. You will also learn more by picking up a few books under $150. 

    Also im pretty sure he promotes section 8 rentals and gives you a story with rose colored glasses. Anyone telling you to buy 80k properties in class D neighborhoods and rent them to section 8 for 2200/m is not doing you any favors. 

    Read as much material as possible and go to some local RE meet ups. Way more value this way.

    Absolutely NOT! I was in this program, simply for the "boots on the ground" @3k/month in Philly to test out two deals there. The value for us was basically paying 3k/month for a project manager, which we built into our reno costs and fit our model. I'm a seasoned investor, lend to other investors, and have done deals in other markets with strategic partners there, but this was not as done for you as he sells it and we knew that going in. We wanted to test out the lower income stuff though. Currently stuck in two deals I'm struggling to sell in areas I don't want to own. The value in what Brian brings is that IF you find good deals there and WANT TO do them, being in his program, his contractor will front the reno money until you get construction draws back from your fix and flip loan. That allows you to get into more deals (that's great if those deals are meeting your goals, and terrible if not). However, I have the suspicion that he's in bed with his contractor, getting a cut on top what his platform costs you. The renovations his crew did were actually pretty good though. Philly is a tough market to sell in right now, with lots of inventory. Our 5 unit is fully rented, but our duplex is struggling to rent one side. Also, the section 8 rents he uses in his proformas are tough to get, at least in Philly. So, that inflates the ROI on his progromas. Shame on me, I let a couple partners talk me into testing this, and have regretted it since. Expensive lesson learned. Find a mentor you know, that you don't have to pay and build a good team around you.

       Thank you for sharing your story. I really try to help as many potential clients from falling into this trap. Unfortuntaely people are sometimes too swayed by short term eye catching returns

    Quote from @Jay Odulio:

    Not sure why I’m even entertaining this thread for five minutes, but here we are.

    My son, who’s more U.S.-based while I’ve been doing business globally, recently showed me this thread. He’s in that early stage — skeptical, looking for direction, and naturally turning to forums like this for guidance. Since I’ve personally done business with Brian a few months ago and referred my son to him, I figured I should speak up — just in case someone else is in the same position, unsure of what’s real and what’s just online noise.

    Greetings from Panama.

    Reading through this thread, I’m reminded why I ever wasted time in spaces like this. I’ve had hundreds of mentors across the world throughout different phases of my business journey — and not once did I get ahead by sitting around reading books and forums while trying to avoid every risk.

    Let’s break down the pattern here.

    Someone hears “$50K profit” and immediately screams scam. Why? Because they think if they couldn’t figure out how to do it, no one else possibly could either. That’s not logic — that’s projection.

    Then there's the old, "If it worked, why would they sell it to you?" line. Simple: it's called scaling a business model — the same way real estate syndicators raise capital, developers bring in JV partners, or educators expand their reach. If someone has a system that works and infrastructure to support more volume, that's not shady — that's smart.

    Then comes the “just read books” argument. Sure, books are great. But I’ve built and exited companies. And I can tell you with absolute certainty: information alone changes nothing. Execution — learning the game from people who eat, breathe, and live it — is what moves the needle. You don’t need another eBook. You need reps, and real support.

    Another hot take was “never pay” and “inspect everything personally.” Sounds nice — until you’re trying to grow beyond your zip code. The whole point of expansion is leveraging trusted systems, experienced teams, and infrastructure so you can scale. The people trying to micromanage everything themselves usually stay stuck small. Just the game’s true nature.

    One person mentioned Section 8 pro formas being inflated. That’s fair. But let’s be real — every market has rent volatility, and underwriting conservatively is your responsibility as the investor, not the educator’s. Don’t like the projections? Adjust the inputs. The program never sold me dreams — it sold me access, structure, and speed to a market I'd never ventured in. If you can’t discern the difference, maybe real estate isn’t your vehicle.

    And ironically, the only person in this thread who actually did the program said:

    • The renovations were well done
    • The 5-unit is fully rented
    • The contractor fronted reno money to unlock draws

    So yes — the system works. It just didn’t align with his goals. That’s not a program issue — that’s a fit issue.

    I’ve personally done business with Brian in Philadelphia, and I can say with full confidence — he stands on what he teaches. The guy shows up, builds real systems, and actually does what most people only talk about.

    But to cast doubt on someone without direct experience isn’t just inaccurate — it reflects a broader pattern. People repeat secondhand narratives picked up from scattered corners of the internet — most of it not grounded in facts or personal engagement. It becomes easy — even comforting — to label something a scam or write someone off as a “guru,” because it justifies inaction. It gives people a reason to stay exactly where they are… or worse, it gives negative personalities the illusion they’re “helping” by spreading doubt. Laughable.

    At the end of the day, the loudest critics are usually the furthest from the work. Real operators ask real questions, talk to people who’ve actually done it, and then move accordingly.

    Keep researching if you need to — I truly encourage that. But don’t confuse recycled forum or internet chatter with reality.

    Good luck to all.


    this is a good counter point to to the posts so far.. However I have to say these programs no matter how good the people are that are running them etc. Have an extremely high failure rate for those that spend the money on them.. And not generally because the program sucks etc.  Its because the advertisements for these tend to attract beginners or those that simply dont know how tough this business is and the risk of inner city investing.. I have done well over 120 loans and JVs in Philly and Like the other person above I ended up having to take back 4 or 5 and losing money on the exit Not a lot but I can see if a beginner was doing this it would be catastrophic for them.

    I have been a back room vendor  ( fix and flip and short term BRRR lender) for many of the "guru's  Armando Montalongo  Nick Vertucci  Rich Dad Poor Dad etc etc.. So I have personally met hundreds of these students that paid 20 to 50k for this kind of education.. And while a small % go on to success at flipping houses or BRRR and growing portfolios.. The vast majority do not.. I suspect its about 10% success 90% just never do anything but maybe buy a few rentals which they could and should have done starting out.. 

    Folks just get sucked into thinking well if I can make 50k on a deal then I should be able to scale to 3 to 10 a year and now make 150 to 500k a year.. FAR AND FEW between that make 500k a year flipping houses.. I know after 4k loans to flippers over 35 years.. Now some make consistent livings but they are at it full time.  I no longer will work in Philly to stinkin tough.

    I've worked with Brian and done his Boots on the Ground program.  He's one of the only mentors out there who actually work with his people one on one.  I can text him directly one on one and setup zoom calls with him to answer any questions.  He has helped me to secure contractors, lenders, realtors, architects etc.  He also does tours where he takes you into 10-20 properties that hes actually building and teaches you step by step how to do it yourself.  The guy is a wealth of information.  I got a few deals done through Boots on the Ground and he did exactly what he said he would do.  His team does analysis on the deals and help you to get them under contract, then they handle the rehab and the contractors pull the money out of their own pocket.  Nobody else will do that for you from what I've seen.  He also has lot's of mentees on his weekly coaching calls that are doing deals all over the country and swear by him like I do.  I haven't heard him promise anyone that they are guaranteed to make anything on any deal.  He gives you the pros and cons and risks and lets you decide for yourself since you are the 100% owner of any deal you do with him and his team.  If you have the chance to work with him one on one you should consider it before he stops helping people in that way.  Do your own research of course but the guy is helping a lot of people from my experience.  Thats my 2 cents

    Just curious, what exactly does the $15K program include?
    I totally get investing in education or mentorship where you’re gaining skills, but this sounds more like a done-for-you setup. 

    It doesn't make sense that they would only charge you $15k to give a a 3-4x profit handed straight to you.

    @Laura Navaquin Agreed that wouldnt make any sense... Not sure who said they give you 3-4x profit, but Its definitely not a get rich quick gimmick.  Brians team finds deals for you, connect you with lenders, handle all construction for you, then help with tenanting and management.  So its kind of like a brrrr strategy done for you or you can flip the house to try to make a profit.  It's not a guarantee or anything of profit, but they do a lot of the analysis and research for you and educate you on how to analyze properties so that you can make educated decisions.  You own everything 100% so no funny business, and the contractors pull money out of their own pocket to handle the rehab so you don't get burned with contractors not doing work and running away with your hard earned money.  I've seen some other real estate talking heads offering a service like this but for like 20k-40k, and it seems like they offered less value than what Brian's program included.  You definitely learn a ton more than you could lean from real estate books, and you actually get a deal.  Brian certainly isn't the only option but he was a good fit for me.  Did what he said he was going to do, and even sent the contractors back to the property for minor touchups post rehab when I asked.  He cares about his clients which is more than you can say about most people.  Do your own diligence and go with someone you can trust.  Or you can always try to do it yourself but there are so many scam contractors out here its not even funny.  Very easy to get burned as a newbie investor.  hope that helps.

    Hi team, 

    I just had a call with a sales agent to sign up for  the Boots on the Ground program. It is a program that they do everything for you from finding the property, rehabing it, renting it or selling it in Philadelphia. It is a done for you kind of program. I am wondering if anyone has any experience with this program that could share their thoughts. It sounds like a good opportunity and I want to pull the trigger but I wanted to get some reviews since the program is a high ticket of $15K I couldn't find much online about this program or Brian Grimes. 

    Thank you so much!
