@Aaron Lietz, your post is spot on! I can't tell you how many times I've asked the same questions. However I had not been in real estate more than a couple of years when I realized the real money isn't in going out looking for someone to sell you their home cheap. The real money is coming up with education. Become very knowledgeable, first give out info for free, then sell the info. Then use that money to buy properties. Now your way a head of most because you have cash to put down. Coaches use to always say there's no competition, either because most won't do the work or there are so many people who want to sell. Well, anytime there are people looking for the same thing, there is competition. And like you said, Pepsi isn't going to train a start up company, Walmart isn't going to train some small start up. Why, because it doesn't benefit them at all. There is enough free info out there but most people see "coaching" as a magic pill. But its not, you still have to do the work. Coaches aren't gonna do the work for you. They also can't hold you accountable. What can they do if you don't do the work, nothing. Its really all on the individual to dedicate their time and energy. Because if not, you're not gonna get the results. I've seen people who haven't been in the business more than a year or two and because they've had some success, now they're coaches, lol. My thing is I'm not gonna sign up with someone and in the end I'm really just funding their business and taking away from mine. I know BP puts down a lot of these "guru's" but in reality, BP is the largest coaching group in the country. Isn't these weekly podcasts coaching? Its just they were smart enough to make it a low yearly membership rather than asking for 10 to 20k one time fee. I'm not hating, its free enterprise!
