Is coaching necessary?

[Brandon Rush]

Hello!

I recently signed up for a real estate investing coaching program through my local REIA here in Connecticut. I am considering requesting a refund for my down payment on the program for a number of reasons:

* There is an abundance of information online regarding real estate investing
* There are numerous networking opportunities available to learn from others
* I am extremely self motivated and have been taking small actions on my own already

My main fear of not moving forward with the coaching is missing out on information that I do not know about my local market and making mistakes I could have avoided. In addition, this real estate journey will be a joint venture between my wife and I. I would hate to act like I know what I am doing and provide her incorrect information.

I kind of know the answer to this but I am curious to know your opinion. Maybe some of you have been in the same situation?

Thanks in advance for any feedback!
