Tom Cruz vs Blake Choisnet

[Jared Lyon]

Hey Guys,

I’m new to the group and real estate.  I know I’ve read people say we don’t need to pay for help but it’s a bit intimidating trying to filter through all the real estate information.  I’ve recently watched a webinar for Tom Cruz and Blake Choisnet 90 day rental roadmap. Both mentorship state they will help you get your first deals or you get your money back.  Cruz seems to focus more on seller financing which seems to be limited as a lot of sellers don’t offer this.  90 day rental road map focuses on private funding with exclusive lenders for their students that will fund 100 percent of the deals.  
This is appealing as I want to spread my cash reserve as much as possible. 20 percent down each time will really limit my progress.  

Any opinions on this?  Anyone used them and actually had success or no success and lost your money?  
thanks for your time. 

ps.  If anyone wants to take me under your wing I’m open hehe.  Located in Kentucky.

Hey @Jared Lyon, there are lots of people out there coaching investors that are doing lots of good work. But there's also lots of people out there that are being dishonest and not following through on their promise to their students, which in the end just hurts the investors themselves and other investors that are considering coaching because they assume everyone is the same. 

There are also a lot of people out there that will hate on getting coaching, some due to the bad actors I mentioned, but some due to a commitment to do everything themselves. That's fine, but they have to know there's a tradeoff for everything. The tradeoff for doing it all alone is higher risk and a much slower pace. In my experience those that go alone often times don't end up closing any deals because it's information overload and they're drinking out of a fire hydrant and don't have any guidance to tell them what to focus on. Those that do end up closing on deals usually take 2+ years for the first one. You have your exceptions, but that's what I've seen after talking to thousands of people and helping hundreds build their porfolios. 

If you're looking for some direction and want to have a conversation I can commit to honesty and transparency, not pushiness or gimmicks. We're good at what we do, but we don't do what we don't do and will tell you where the line is so you can make the best decision for you and your family. Feel free to message me if it'd be helpful to have a conversation. Even if it's not working with us I'm happy to help.
