Hi Jinesh, congratulations on your 1st post. The fact that you've taken a step to post here means you are serious. I would advise you not to waste your money on paying someone for coaching. If you have the energy to grind & hustle, that's what I would recommend. I started 6 years ago with my first remodel and after 6 years, I am listing my first custom home build that is just about 4,000 sq ft. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out and I'm happy to guide you in the right direction. Best thing you can do now is save, save, save to have enough to get your first investment.

    Hello,

    I am new to real estate investment and went to lots of free webinars and got confused about whom I should go for initial coaching/consultation.

    Any suggestions?

    From my experience, the guru / coaching route has ended in frustration from investors as they have found they have paid a significant dollar amount for education that is free online.
    Since you are starting out, my recommendation would be to 
    1. Research the different aspects of real estate investing and see which one you like
    2. Save up $ to make sure you have enough money for an investment. While people will talk about investing in real estate with no money, it is very risky and can lead to a lot of problems down the line if you do not have cash for repairs or other items
    3. Get a solid understanding of the business via going to local REIA's, signing up for free webinars and attending events
    4. Surround yourself with 5 people who are doing what you want to do who are smarter than you. Learn from them.

    Those would be my recommendations

    It depends. What is it you want to accomplish? What's your goal?

     My goal is to create a positive cash flow, Finding good market and deals. How to get the inital loans if needed and how to create a team around me for sucess.

    @Jinesh Patel - whatever you do, don't go with one of the national snake oil salesmen....I mean "gurus".  Go with someone that currently invests for their livelihood and avoid the ones that have books and try to upsell you on weekend workshops that cost tens of thousands.  They try to make it seem like it's more complicated than it actually is.  The reality is, it can be very simple.  You're just feeling overwhelmed and that's normal.  Remember, you don't need to have it all figured out before you get started.  And there's not ONE right path to success in real estate.

    You want to look for social media groups where the Admin isn't a digital creator. There are at least 10 groups on Facebook with iver 10,000 members and none have an admin. 

    Same here. If you ask a question you will get answers from the peanut gallery. You will have shills and influencers guide you to their guru bosses where they get paid referral fees. 

    You're welcome for saving you from spammers, scammers and ineffective qualified people looking for the keys to their Lambo. The closest many will get are the Hot Wheels edition...
