Hello Justin.

Welcome to BP and thanks for the good information.

"2k down and 1k per month until tuition is paid. I also agreed to pay 1k per month for marketing".

I like that option better than all the others. I would hate to put the whole tuition at risk and the outcome be undesireable.

Are they spcific about how the $1k in marketing dollars is allocated? $500 Bandits. $500 on lists and direct marketing? Is the the direct marketing both letters and postcards?

Anxious to know how this coaching works out for you in the next 60 - 90 days.

Keep us posted.

My man Josh! Happy Birthday...Many, Many More!!

Hey Greg,

Can't speak for everyone but I personally just wanted to know if as a result of Joe and Peters coaching you've done a a deal since 10/20? If you didn't do any deals than that is just the truth of the matter. 

Ironically,just yesterday I was listening to a Joe McCall podcast on coaching. The commentary between he and his guest, revolved around coaching and the cost of coaching. How much is too much to pay for coaching? If someone can come up with, let's say in your case, $15K for coaching that they are probably already successful at something to be able to come up with that $15K and they would probably be good as a coaching student because they understand what it takes to be successful.

I get that.  (not sure I agree with it but I get it.)

I just think that what comes along with coaching at that price point is an obligation to hold you accountable and push you to get deals done.

For instance:  If you have to put out 400 bandit signs a month and didnt do that you should be hot seated for it and made to explain why you didnt do that and what can be done to fix it so it doesnt happen again the next month.

Maybe Joe and Peter are doing that for you... I dont know.

It would be nice if you were able to be transparent here on BP and share about your training in and what went wrong with the leads exactly. What does got behind the 8 ball really mean? That you were expecting 60 leads but received 160 leads as a direct result of strategies and tactics used from your coaching program?

One of the main benefits of BP is that people come here to find out the truth about what works and what doesn't work and you my friend have a unique opportunity to share that with the rest of the BP community.

Some people will knock you if you say you didn't do any deals but alot of people understand that most successful people have lost money trying different things and failing at them....repeatedly.

Personally, I really want to see you succeed.

That's great but you need to get them sold! Do you have a buyer or buyers lined up for both properties? Would be nice if you could sell them both to one investor as a 2 property package deal. 2 properties, 1 deal, 1 check. Next...

I would run away! I would not buy a property with such minimal cash flow. Unless for the small amount of cash flow there  is an equity play with this property.

Is the true market value 175K or is it much more? Eric and Richard make very good points. If you have a vacancy are you prepared to cover that 700+ out of pocket? 1 month? 2 months?

Happy Holidays to all! Today is 12/26/2014. 6 days past 12/20/2014 when I asked Greg F to update us on his success with the coaching he is receiving from Peter and Joe. I am personally very interested in his progress and forward movement especially if it is directly related to Peter and Joe's coaching program which charges a 15K "are you serious" fee PLUS an extra 1K a month on marketing. @Greg F - Can we get an update friend? I think anyone who was remotely interested in Peter and Joes program would be interested in how many deals you have completed since enrollment. Strategies and tactics used, lessons learned, etc. Not just fellow BP'ers but anyone searching the web for info on the Peter and Joe coaching opportunity. If you haven't had any success that's ok also because we can all learn from that lesson who not to invest our money with.

Hey Greg,

Thanks for the info. I'm super glad that you posted on this.

I ALWAYS want an actual user of the program that I plan I intend on using to provide feedback about the programs results.

I would really be interested in hearing how the program is working for you as of 12/20/2014.

By then you would have invested roughly $17K-$18K and I'm really interested in how much business income that generates for you guys in terms of rehab deals, wholesale deals or rentals properties acquired.

I remember Joe saying he does 5+ deals a week. I would imagine you would be at 1-2 deals a week mark by 12/20/2014.

If you are experiencing significantly greater deal volume and most importantly significantly greater business revenue as a result of partenering with Joe and Peter, that to me is real life proof that the partenering program works.

I submitted an application to Peter Vekselman and Joe McCall on their partnering program. I specifically asked in the application why they were so transparent on the $1K a month marketing but so vague on the "are you serious" fee. Now I know why thanks to your post. $15K? Are they serious!  I feel the same way you do...how many people have they scammed out of 15K!. What sounded attractive to me was that Joe advertised this system of getting more leads into one's pipeline and the phone to ring. Peter called me this morning and I was busy so we didnt get a chance to talk. When I call him back for the "interview" I'll let you know the outcome. I get that I should never give my money to a guru but it just sounded so attractive! As much guru bashing as I've done on BP you would think I would know better. - Mike

What about local numbers vs 800 numbers?  Has anyone tested the difference between the 2?
