@Jaleel Phillips guess I dodged a bullet. Good connecting with you. Looking forward to learning as much as possible on bigger pockets.

@Mitch Messer wow Mitch. You are a lifesaver. Great advise. I figured to read books for the basics and the funniest part is everything I learned in the 3 day workshop, I found YouTube videos with the same exact information.

@Caleb Heimsoth thanks for the info Caleb. I guess the red flag was when they said you can always max out your credit card or take a loan out from your 401k. 😳

@Jaleel Phillips thanks Jaleel. I already paid for the 3 day workshop which was $4k. Now they want $40k more. But great advise tho. Even for the 3 day workshop I learnt a great deal of stuff that I feel like I could have learned on YouTube or by reading books.

I don’t want to name drop but I paid $4000 for a 3 day workshop and now they want $40,000 more for coaching and mentorship. A friend of mine that has a successful portfolio worth millions advised me not to. He recommend to network as much as possible, study and research and start small and scale up. Your biggest investment is yourself so decided to check out bigger pockets to start my journey.

So curious to see who else has gone through those 3 day workshops in hotel conference rooms and try to sell you more and more things. Or who else has made it without shelling out 80,000 dollars for coaching and mentorship?

Please advise.

As a daytime software engineer with a large oil and gas company and also owner of a digital marketing firm, I would like to retire by 40 and just let my money and time work for me via investments in multi family properties. Financial freedom and generational wealth are my goals.

Just left an RE-Mentor 3 day workshop and after having already spent $4,000, I was debating paying an extra $40k-$80k to join the mentorship and coaching program but a friend who was already in real estate advised me to save that money and to rather network and invest my time and resources in local coaches, reading books, starting small and scaling up. Hence bigger pockets seemed like a good way to start my journey.

Name’s Jeremiah and I am 36 years old and currently reside in Houston, TX. By day I am a software engineer for ExxonMobil and by late noon and early evening I own a small digital marketing business. By nighttime, I divide my time into reading books, spending time with my family, and planning to retire by 40.

While the income from my day job and my business seems like a good footing in life, it’s not enough to have financial freedom and build generational wealth. Hence, real estate investment in multi family properties has picked my interest and I would like to start this journey sooner than later.

@Damian hey Damian. I am also a Newbie too and reside in Texas. Just wanted to say hi and I have visited Cheyenne Wyoming 2 months ago actually. Nice place.
