Should I work with this mentor?
I'm really torn between working with real estate coach tim taylor or not. I need to learn how to make offer and deals and get started wholesaling properties. I really need a coach to show and walk me through the basics. I was totally on board after talking to Tim Taylor on the phone today but then I decided to google his program and now I have mixed feelings about the whole thing.....here is the article I read.

He offered me the following:
He gets:
12,500 cash upfront for course
20% of all my deals go to him for one year
I get:
Tim Taylor as my personal coach and his personal number to ask questions (he only takes on 20 students at a time now)
His program and methods of how to get house and flip and make money
The fact that I'm willing to pay this tells you how much I want to learn real estate lol. And please let me know if you've had a good experience with Tim Taylor. I already have had one of his previous students only say great things about him. And I definitely don't need to hear I can learn it all from podcast, and bigger pockets forum, and books. lol. I need hands on coaching and someone that will guide me as I am DOING them.
Also, other coaches I'm thinking about getting coaching from are Michael Quarles and Jerry Puckett.

@Michael Linquist Instead of paying him the money, wait one month. In that one month, listen to at least one BP podcast a day, and read at least on BP blog a day. I can assure you that your view point will change.
