REI & ME by Chris Goff
Newbie here. Now I know the general consensus is to stick with BP and find a mentor. While I'm working on that, I'd at least like to see if anything by Chris Goff, specifically his wholesaling course, is worth purchasing. Link for reference:

I don't plan on signing up for his coaching or anything outside of this program. If anyone has any specific book or course suggestions, I'm more than open to those.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Sorry for such a late response, everyone. Just got busy with helping the new family REI business that stepped away for a bit. Big thanks to @Raymond B. for helping folks learn about the tag feature!!!
@Lori Walker and @Cody Marchant , I would have to say that the book and DVDs are basic, but not without providing some good direction. The book is written like a manual/workbook. Sure, a lot more detailed information can be found here on Bigger Pockets, but Chris Goff's Wholesaling Course is great for outlining some step-by-step guidelines that is easy enough to follow; especially for people who aren't used to self-educating.
The wholesaling course also comes with some handy forms and contracts. You can edit them to suit your needs. Personally, I think the forms are great to use for handling phone calls. We've made some adjustments here and there but didn't have to revamp the entire forms. Our attorney suggested the single page purchase contract have "or assigns" mentioned more than once, but gave us the go-ahead on the rest. Make sure you have your own attorney review the contracts before using them in your own business.
There was no hype, no further sales pitch for another product, no promising access to an "exclusive REIA network" (think: Phil Grove - REIMatcher, Than Merrill - Fortune Builders), or any other yada yada to get someone to buy more products and/or get sucked into an MLM-esque "network". No one has called us from Mr. Goff's office trying to sell us anything further. The only sales stuff we get are emails that provide links to access his webinars which are informative enough to give ideas for how to take further action. Sure, he offers some of his products towards the end, but if you don't buy that's a-okay with them too. There's no follow up to buy another kit at some blah blah reduced rate of whatever.
For the family members who were intimidated by the process, and REI stuff in general, this program helped them get through the hesitation and take action. It also provided a way for me to not have to explain terms, what to do next, and things over and over again, which I definitely like.
Bottom line: Chris Goff's Wholesaling Course a good resource for beginners; especially those who work best with a manual/workbook type setup. For our purposes, it was worth the 300 bucks.
