Mentor and training
I have read many reviews about the Investors Edge. Most are negative except the google reviews that seem fake.
I love that they have a process in place to teach the process.
Is there any legitimate company that I can work with that has a similar model?

Most of the courses that promise to walk you through the process and have mentors make money . . .just not for you! You probably have heard to join the local REIG as what you will find from the courses advertised everywhere anymore is that they offer general information that in many cases does not fit your market or state requirements. Also, they use examples where properties are selling for $500K and up which is not where many of us are investing.
BP has some great resources and in fact we have found it to offer far more in terms of tools and contacts than a course we paid WAY TOO MUCH for when we started out. We could have bought our first property with what we wasted with the course and in talking to many others that have used the same program, they also found it to be overpriced and a Segway to more and more up sells to explain why we had not been successful.
Seeing you are new to real estate, get a foundation from others in your area and see what works and what does not work. Be careful that you do not pump money into a program claiming to make you an investor and provide help in doing so . . . it will quickly become your fault for not being successful when you question things and the mentor aspect offered will disappear.
Find local investors, get the foundation you need to focus on your area and stay positive in the journey,. Most of us have made mistakes - try and pick our brains and avoid making the same ones.
Good luck!
