Major Investment in Mentor/Coaching Program
I'm contemplating spending up to $15,000 to buy into an established mentor/coaching wholesaling program that focuses heavily on the marketing and system components. Much of which will be done for me and uses currently very successful techniques/processes. I've been "attempting" to do this for years and have had some success but well below desired. I am very confident that the people I am looking to work with are credible in that I am very familiar with them and their programs. The "bottom line" for me is that if I keep doing what I'm doing I will never bring my REI to the level desired. After years of plodding along, I've come to the reality that for whatever reason I can't/won't do this on my own.
I have made projections based on recommendations from these coaches that I should base my #'s on doing 1 wholesale deal per week. I know it will take extraordinary effort that make that happen, but it that realistic?
I've always appreciated feedback from the BP community and look forward to the response to this post!

My question is, will you have any money left to purchase properties after paying their fee.? Do you need to use a credit card like some others here have had to?
When I was starting out in sales I purchased a ton of tapes (not 8 track) from Zig Ziglar and a couple of others. They were specific to my occupation and I was able to apply their suggestions. It was a lot of money for me at the time but it was a good investment.
So if you get the knowledge will you be able to apply it?
Good Luck
