Should I Pay a Mentor?

Hey Everyone!

I am in the early stages of starting a company that focuses on acquiring large multifamily assets through JV partnerships and syndications. I am considering paying a mentor or purchasing a training program to help me get this started, but I have some questions for the BP community before I make a big investment.

1. If you have paid a mentor or purchased a training program about syndication in the past, was it worth it? (And what program was it?)

2. What questions should I ask a potential mentor and what research should I do before applying for their program?

I have already spoken with someone who I think I would like to work with, but I want to make sure I am not jumping the gun. If you have had success in syndication after working with a mentor, or if you are a mentor yourself, let's get in touch!

The only one's that'll tell you to use a coach, mastermind program, or anything in between are the one's promoting it. The internet is not always correct, but it is a resource. Read up on the facts, separate the noise, and move how it fits for you. You don't need to read endless "books", watch podcasts all day, and this mundane trash that people think makes them more qualified. You need to know your direction then get all the color you can on it; then do something. Don't just sit there like a lame duck.
