Coaching?

[David Cohen]

Hi Everyone! I'm a new investor from Massachusetts. I have been going to my local Reia meetings looking to network and gain knowledge. The Reia administrator offered coaching opportunities for $50 a month but offered two free sessions, so I figured I would try it out. After the first session i knew that I didn't like her energy. Since then I have reached out to her for help with finding cash buyers and Arv's. She has helped but it seems like I'm waiting her time. Basically I feel like she isn't interested in mentoring me so I'm looking for advice on where I can find someone eager to help a new ambitious real estate investor?

@David Cohen I agree with Rob for the most part. However, please consider the following as a possible reason for the monthly fee. I was given a car my senior year by my dad. I trashed that thing! I had not paid a penny for it so although it was worth X amount of dollars, it had no value to me. The same can be said for unpaid mentoring, coaching etc. I used to manage a gym and during the first 30 days of membership (free trial) people came maybe once a week. Once they began paying they started coming 2-4 times a week. I'm sure you can see where I am going with this. When paying for something, even if its a very nominal fee, we take it more seriously. 

That being said, if the energy and personality don't match, that's an obvious mismatch. I just wanted to make sure you didn't get scared off completely by those that do charge for their services. Just like anything else, weigh the cost versus value. 

Hope this helps.
