I read a lot on BiggerPockets about coaching or coaches and people looking for mentors to teach them how to invest. I read both the positive and the negative things that are stated so I wanted to give some perspective that may help newer investors more context to help them understand some differe...
I've been vetting gurus to determine where an investment would return the greatest ROI. Many gurus dangle their network, trainings and resources but few deliver real value. Fewer still actually show-up to deliver the value in-person. Pace was the only one I encountered who showed up live, who is ...
What I want to flag is a pattern, because I see it enough that it's worth naming on its own. A lot of pitches into residential assisted living lead with income potential built off gross revenue per resident. The national median cost of care is around $6,200 a month per resident, from the CareScou...
I gave Financial Freedom my credit card info so that they could bill me $3.95 to ship me a book. They ended up billing me $200 a month for several months before I realized what they had done. My wife's a Realtor and we flipped a couple houses that she found for us. This last year I've been trying...
After years of watching people build followings in this space, I've noticed a pattern that repeats so consistently I think it's worth naming. When someone has a real product, real deals, a real track record, they lead with that. It's the easiest thing to sell because it's true. But when the produ...

Here's some recurring interactions I continue to have with real estate transaction participants. I suspect all paid for education from gurus. What other forms of guru inspired craziness are people encountering? 1. We are interested in signing a master lease for your building backed by a corporate...
If you haven't seen the story yet, a 35 year old man named Daejon Love was recently arrested and, according to federal prosecutors, charged with wire fraud conspiracy for allegedly posing as a San Francisco 49ers player to defraud more than two dozen women out of over $1.3 million (again all of t...
Hey everyone, drop some of your favorite books on real estate, wealth building, and personal development! Thanks
I bought John's online course, LeasingToBuy on May 31st. I thought that the course materials were very sloppily prepared, with little detail given on how to do transactions. The contracts were not editable online, and I couldn't access the webinar recordings. So, I waited until the course materia...

Has anyone ever read the books on apartment buildings from Craig Haskell (Value Hound Academy)? His site provides crazy good Commercial REI resources for free, but his books are a few years old and all have zero reviews EVERYWHERE. It surprises me, because the table of contents seem very actionab...
I attended a seminar in March in Northern Virginia. During the seminar I paid for a private workshop. They said the date was TBD but will be around June to July. I waited until mid July and still haven't received any info so I reached out to Jerome's team to get an update. A member of his team sa...
On BiggerPockets, we talk a lot about coaching and there's a debate on whether coaching is good or bad or whether it's worth the money or not. If you want to know more about that, then search up all of the other posts about it. I signed up for coaching recently. But it's not the coaching that you...

Hi all, I haven’t posted here in awhile, but always turn to the BP community when doing some research. Curious if anyone has ever heard of, done business with, etc. a gentleman named Peter Rex? He is “creating the future of real estate” through a venture studio, and on the surface his companies a...
Newbie here I’m a nurse that works SWO and plan on starting with the BRRRR strategy I have figured out the math part and I am thinking about putting in sweat equity into the first property. Should I look into a mentor for guidance?
