Recommended Mentorship Programs and Advice

[Sebastian Bennett]

I previously posted this inquiry within a separate chain but wanted to get others thoughts on coaching or mentorship programs? I had a more senior co-worker early in my professional career I viewed as a mentor. Looking back, if I was not so fortunate to have this co-worker but was given the opportunity to pay to learn from this individual I would have done so because of how much impact it's had on my career so I certainly appreciate the value of good mentorship and how it can accelerate ones career. However I've seen mostly through social media a few coaches/mentorship programs in the Philadelphia area that offer set courses that are quite expensive and wanted to know if others have relied on these courses? I've tuned into a few of the "free" sessions offered by these individuals which I found to be a sales pitch to purchase other educational materials and some of the topics that were discussed seemed to mislead how easy this business would be for the sake of getting paid subscribers. I also question the credentials of some of these individuals that claim to own upwards of 300 properties and refused to share any information about their personal portfolios. Seems suspicious to me. I also found others who offer hourly coaching and doing the math, I could tally hours upon hours of 1 on 1 time to ensure I am making sound investment decisions while leaning on real estate agents and finance professionals to provide services which are baked into the transactions anyway. Curious to hear others thoughts and suggestions.
