Hi. Once you sign up you always have access to the network and the weekly calls. We have been going to local meetups instead to network for our construction and development business as a way to build capital and partner with other investors. I think you need at least $10,000 in reserves, or bare minimum at least enough to cover a month and a half of rent, utilities, and any unforeseen maintenance issues per property. We are looking to turn our current primary house into a rental after we build a DADU.

We are in the program. We haven't bought an investment property in the first 90 days but haven't been offered to fly to HQ. The "no money"  is a bit of a hook. You need some money 🤷‍♀️ at least reserves. The zoom calls are nice. Keola is awesome. We stalled out on the curriculum but will hop back into it... We just got distracted by all the other outside investors on Instagram and podcasts, which you really do learn a ton from. It certainly doesn't help at the economy is funky. Not as challenging for seasoned investors, but definitely more challenging for new investors.

Thanks Nicholas. We are still deciding if we will just stay in the PNW and invest in the Midwest to start. We have been looking into house hacking here. It's pricey too. We would buy a duplex, build our a garage/ basement or do a DADU. We need capital for those too since we aren't into renting out rooms in our primary home. We are doing a BRRR mentorship and my husband is looking into flipping and wholesaling, so we will see!

Hi, thank you! I've been hearing so much about the growth! I'd like to move there but unfortunately the salary for my position hasn't caught up with the growth, so I'm on the fence. When I mentioned moderate to advanced investors, I meant portfolio/capital wise due to the prices! Thanks for the reply and recommendations. 😊

Hi! I was considering a move to Raleigh but was curious about the market for investing. I see it makes all the hot lists but I'm wondering if it's for a more moderate or advanced investor? The price point seems high there and I was curious if it had many distressed properties in the surrounding areas that would work for the BRRR method? To me it looks like the market would do well for appreciation but I'm not sure about cash flow. I'm a beginner investor with not a lot of capital. Any insights would be appreciated.

We had a call with a representative from the program and he seemed very genuine. The only issue I have is that there are so many real estate investor influencers selling mentorships and everyone has their own niche. And if you watch them all enough you see them put down other methods. Example: Pace Morby says BRRR method sucks, but that's part Sam's mentorships. Also there are many other influencers that just buy and hold and claim that's the best way to long-term wealth. Ultimately it comes down to if you take action after you complete a mentorship program. That's the number one question. We are still on the fence. These programs aren't a cheap buy-in, we hate to make the wrong decision but we're also tired of watching YouTube videos that make it all look so easy.
