Using a Coach - Pros/Cons?

[Michael Muro]

My fiance and I are budding real estate investors, still learning the ropes. We have not even found our first deal yet and are truly in the infancy stages of our venture. Finding this community has been fantastic simply for the breath and depth of knowledge in these forums.

I went to a local REIA Meetup this evening and was presented with an opportunity to have a coach/mentor. Listening to the BP podcast, I recall several people mentioning they have used them as well.

How do coaches typically make money off somebody like me? I'm trying to gauge what I might be in for prior to contacting this potential coach (who btw seems like the type of person I would like to learn from).

Does anybody have experiences with a coach they could share? Open to any suggestions and thanks in advance for any advice!
