Wheelbarrow Profits Academy with Jake and Gino
Hey Bigger Pockets Community,
I'm very interested in learning about multi-family investing and accelerating my education. The Wheelbarrow Profits Academy costs $20K. Is that the best way to engage the Jake and Gino community? I'd be curious to get feedback from anyone who has recently paid this fee and joined the program. Are there less expensive ways to get access that are still effective? I'd love to understand the options and the pros and cons.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
Uri.

I've been a part of the group for over a year now, Uri, and it's been absolutely fantastic.
The educational program is top-notch, no doubt, but for me, when I joined, it was all about the access to the network of like-minded, vetted individuals who are there to do deals and make it happen.
I've always been frustrated by local meet-up groups and networking events where the majority of people (because the events are typically free) are tire kickers. Yes, joining J & G is expensive, but everybody's paid the fee and put skin in the game. It elevates the level of commitment and professionalism of the group as a whole.
I explored all the other educational groups out there before finally settling on J & G because they felt the least "cultish" and the most like a "family". The community leader, Josh Roosen, really goes out of his way to make you feel connected.
And that's the real value of the group at the end of the day: They are committed to your success.
A little about my track-record, since joining the group last year I've done:
1) acquired 80 units ($7mm in assets) across 2 syndications and 1 joint venture
2) Launched a podcast (Multifamily Investing Made Simple)
3) Will be publishing a book (Passive Investing Made Simple) in June. Full disclosure on that, I'm writing and publishing that alongside Jake and Gino.
Now, I had a good amount of experience before joining the group, so I was probably further ahead than most, but there are plenty of guys and gals in the group who are starting from square one and through the relationships they establish in the group, the get their first deal done way quicker than they ever imagined.
But like all things in life, Uri, you get out of the group what you put in.
Hope that helps! Feel free to DM me if you want to hop on a call and discuss further.
