Mentor/Coach
Okay, today I met a guy who claims to have over 30-years experience in real estate investing. He is offering to coach and train me. He is offering to be my coach for what I feel is a hefty fee.
Here are the numbers and what I get for his professionalism.
$500 for
-20-minutes of couching and access to his marketing programs
-Access to his attorneys and investors/end buyers
-Personal guarantee that he would walk me through my 1st three deals from beginning to end of escrow on all three.
-Also after the 1st three deals he would no-longer consider me a student but a partner.
-I will have access to his title company and investment forms
I personally think $500 for only 20-mins of his time is to much in a business that's so complex's. I fill more than 20-mins is needed in order to build a trustworthy relationship.
Any advice BP?

I would offer to put the $500 into escrow and release it to him after he walks you through that first deal...
