Should I pay for a one-on-one mentor?

[Shawn Moser]

Hey fellow BPers, I'm new to BP and to real estate. I had a discussion today with a mentor from the Doug Hopkins real estate program and they have a mentorship program where for one year I will have weekly calls with a coach that will walk me through getting 6-8 deals in that year. I then have access to that mentor after a year whenever I need help. The cost of the program is $12k, which if the help is legit could be made on a single deal. Does anyone have any  experience with this mentorship program or have any advice on whether I should sign up?  Thanks in advance for your response.

Thanks for the fast reply Chris. It's not the personal trainer type motivation I need in a mentor, it is a step by step process for how to close my first few deals successfully to gain the confidence to do it myself.
