OK, next Step...Mentor Sherman Ragland

[Derek Smith]

OK, I have been going it alone attempting to wholesale for about 3 months now and I have not made that first deal yet. I live about five minutes from DCREIA and its "Dean" Sherman Ragland lives in my development on the next street. I have heard so much about him and his programs and finally gave in and joined the DCREIA and signed up for the 90 day apprentice program. In this program I am assigned a RE agent, hard money lender, wholesaling mentor and form a mastermind group with my fellow apprentices and we get that first deal during our 90 days. I know naysayers will say that I don't need a mentor or the support I will get in this program, but going it alone is difficult and I know folks who have been successful in this program and now regularly do deals. I am determined to succeed this year and will do what it takes to make that happen. I will let you know how successful I am (because I WILL be successful) during this 90 day program. Wish me luck!

I am excited. I have folks I know who are in his 1 year VIP program who have done 5 deals and made crazy money. This program costs $11,000. But next year I am there.

Here is my issue with mentoring. It sounds like this guy has both a $1600 course and an $11,000 course. What does he teach in the $11,000 course that you're not getting with the $1600 course? And doesn't it bother you that this guy is mentoring you but holding back certain information because you're not paying for the premium course?

Seems like for $1600 he should be willing to tell you everything he knows.

I'll tell you everything I know for free if you ask...
