How to find a real estate coach

Brett Romero
Posted

Hi. Does anyone know of a freelance-based real estate coach that I can utilize on an hourly basis? I'm looking for help with analyzing properties for long-term rentals. All of my searches keep bringing up real estate programs that you have to pay $100s/month for to get any kind of coaching. That's overkill for my needs. I'm not a real estate agent and not looking for marketing type help.

Thanks,
Brett

REI is not rocket science. You don't need a coach. And I'd argue you don't want one. If you feel like it's a knowledge issue, then read REI books. And if you feel you need someone to hold your hand then you are not ready mentally.

If you look at listings every day for an hour, you are a local expert within a month. It is really a mental journey; before you can be a real estate investor in the real world, you have to become one in your head.

$100/mo is going to buy you a dude in a call center reading script. At best. Here on BP you have plenty of people with 7 and 8 figure net worth, who will spend an hour answering your questions for free  - just because they love it and want to see you succeed!
