@ Jarrod Frankum ~ Congrats man...I am hoping that I too will know that feeling someday soon! Thanks for sharing your story.

I just signed up and my opinion is he has a system second to none. Just starting out, stay tuned :)

@Brent Coombs, not all of us are perfect like you I guess. Thanks for all of your negative feedback and ZERO helping hand!

Doug -

Just saw this now, I apologize - I am REALLY NEW to BG.

Thanks for your feedback!

Brian~

@Ann Bellamy - As always, I really appreciate your feedback and take it to heart! I've been reading a third party review about 'what's his name' and all the reviews are great, except for one. The price point is not $25K, it is $10K to $25K and at the $10K level, there is enough 'hand holding' on deals that it is well worth the money (in my eyes and several other students). He works with you until you reach $250K in profits and also refunds the original up front money. 

I am not 100% on board yet,  I have more research to do. 

PS - As you know, I've been looking for a mentor for 10 years and no one out here (at REI meetings, the internet etc.) will hold your hand, fund the deal and be there to work directly with you. I feel this is a way for me to FINALLY get a nudge in the right direction.

Thanks again, Brian

@Danny Randazzo Thanks for your honest feedback, I appreciate your 'due diligence' advice! It is a fair amount of dough to get on his program form $10 to $25K depending on what level you enter at but his promise is to mentor me until I reach $250K in profits. Even if I enter at the HIGH level, my initial investment is only 10%, that a pretty good ROI, I think.

Tiger Woods or any professional has a good coaching system behind them.

Thanks again Danny, Brian!

PS - Do you live and invest in Charleston?

Brent -

I live in a small town about 40 miles northwest of Boston (yup a Celtics fan). I have purchased my primary a few times and yes I have plenty of equity which I will not use to invest with, it's a rule my wife and I agreed upon many years ago. you still haven't addressed my questions regarding a mentor.

Brent -

I appreciate all that you are stating and I am a bit skeptical myself. If you are not investing, then what are you doing buying 'fixer uppers' then? Have you ever been mentored for any reason?

I beleive a mentor is, at times required. In business and other things a mentor will assist in helping overcome obstacles and cut down on costly mistakes as well, at least that is my belief. 

Again, thanks for your feedback, it is greatly appreciated!

PS - I flipped a few properties in your neck of the woods (Warrenville Heights and Shaker Heights)

Best, Brian ~

@Brent  Coombs, 

Good stuff and thanks a million! Are you an active investor? If so, what is your model? How many deals have you done in the last 5 years? I know that Phil takes your money up front and that is the tough part, but if he teaches me and leads me to my first profitable deal EVER, why wouldn't that be worth some money?

Regarding getting into a lot of trouble for brokering real estate with a license, I am a bit confused about that statement - can you shed some more light on it please? I thought that is what investors did, buy, fix and flip houses.

Thanks again Brent!

Matt Jones - 

Agreed, my BIGGEST fear is needing someone to hold my hand and lead me to my first deal. I am 9+ years in 'trying' this thing out and I am just not where to go when I run into this or run it to that.

Thank you for your honest feedback.
