Am I being sold snake oil?

So I met with a gentleman yesterday who is an Executive and Business Coach. I sought him out after attending a local REIA meetup. He was of course incredibly convincing, has mastermind meetups, and seemed very genuine, but at the same time seems to be a very good salesman. I can be very vulnerable and realize this in myself. This is the first time I've ever sought out services like this. To attend his mastermind and get access to those things he offers he said it was $2,000 upfront then $747/month.

Seems expensive, but for those that have done things like this before or done courses like that is this reasonable?

    @Cory Lucas - since you're comfortable with your progress, what's the purpose of paying $11k for a year of it? An alternative is to get more involved in your local REIA and take a heavy-hitter out to a very good lunch. Do that with a few hitters and you're out....$500? Yet you'll get good insight into their techniques. Perhaps there's a very successful local investor, reach out to him/her. If you took the top 3 players to lunch or dinner quarterly, you'd spend a lot less yet gain a lot of knowledge. Most successful investors are willing to share their methods. Good luck!
