Question

Annie & Julie were on the Best Deals Ever bigger pockets show and they have an online class for real estate investing: https://portal.goodegginvestments.com/passive-real-estate-investor-academy. If you've tried this class, what do you think of the content? It has a lot of good reviews from famous people but I am still skeptical of these expensive guru REI online classes.

@Susan Tan Sorry I'm late to the party! :D I know it's been a while since you started this thread, so I hope you found what you're looking for.

I just wanted to chime in and share that our Real Estate Accelerator is a mentorship program, rather than a course. We basically take everything on the backend of our business – our automations, funnels, email campaigns, call scripts, etc. – and give them to our coaching members.

It's essentially like a business in a box, based on the system we've created for our own business, white-labeled and customized for YOUR audience and your brand.

Unlike a class, we don't just give you the materials and leave you to fend for yourself. Because this is a mentorship, we offer unlimited coaching and extensive ongoing support to make sure that you get the most out of the program, every step of the way.

Both my partner Julie and I are huge fans of coaching and mentorship programs, and we attribute most of our success to the mentors and partners we've had along the way. We've invested in a lot of other mentorship programs – some incredible and others duds – so we know firsthand the importance of providing true value through a program like this.

We know that when you are considering a program like ours, it's a huge investment for you, your partners, your family, and your future, and we don't take that lightly. We do everything in our power to ensure your success.

I hope that helps!

And on the opposite side of this discussion, I am a Sumrok mentee and it has been very valuable to me.  The Best Ever folks have a very good reputation and the book is pretty much the bible.  I have no personal relationship with them.  That said Sumrok has an on-line week-end event (Would have been live, but pushed on-line and discounted because ...) on May 2 & 3.

Yes, I think a person can find all the info in books and on-line as to how to syndicate and a mentor is not required.  Personally, I rather liked the idea of being able to ask specific questions of the mentor and other students.  I rather like hearing the stories from the other students. And I like the collective knowledge in the network.   But it does come at a cost, that one has to decide if it's worth it.

I should mention that I am speaking of the MF syndicator typically doing 100+ unit deals, not the fellow doing 2s, 4s,or 6s.  We often are getting agency loans and we always get professional management.

Say, I have the choice of investing with one of two neophytes, one with a mentor and one without.  I really like the idea that my newbie syndicator has folks he can talk to and get help from. And that often includes the large network of folks in the group.  Bless BiggerPockets as a source of information, but having a mentor and raft of seasoned investors makes me feel a lot better.  BTW, I have been in about 24 persons first deal.  The fellow doing it from a book rather scares me.

For credibility: started in 2010, gotten into 50 deals as a passive, 16 have sold, so holding 34.  I am currently involved in about 5200 doors (a small percentage of each door, maybe the doorknobs).  And NO, I do not work for Brad Sumrok, just a happy student.

Regards,

I don't understand, why would you need to pay $3000 to learn about syndications?  I presume they also have their own syndication deals that they offer you after you take the course, so paying $3000 on top of giving money to them seems silly to me.  They have a pretty website and photos though, but I wouldn't pay more than $100 for an online course, especially one that seems to really be a sales pitch in disguise!
