Post: Multifamily Coaching Programs - Are they worth the investment?

Late to the game to reply.   Here's my take - find a good group can be well worth it.  A couple of issues, I find a lot of "new" coaches haven't ironed out the wrinkles in their program and are haphazardly putting it together as they go along, which opens the door for a lot of wasted time.   The bigger programs raised their rates ridiculously and provide a lot of generic outdated material.  But if you're going to pay, be ready to integrate yourself so you stand out from the others.  Invest as an LP.

Michael Doherty - Great job in sharing info, including challenges and successes. Congrats on your BRRR - well done. If you were closer to the Fairfield mkt, I'd invite you to attend a small private group on like-minded investors.

I'm considering investing in the Philly mkt.  I keep hearing about ABC Capital Investment and a person, Josh (Sp?) are two big players, providing Turnkey Investment op's.   Anyone know anything about them, and/or the area:  Brewrytown, Germantown, etc.. as very up and coming.

Liked your response, @Corey Smith

It's okay to pass on good deals, but if you're in the game, you eventually have to jump in.

I'm stepping up efforts in the Fix and Flip area of investing in and around Fairfield County.   Does anyone care to Pay it Forward and share some good Contracting and Sub-Contracting contacts.   I need to build a Fix and Flip team. 


Thanks so much; I'm sure I'll get some good responses.

Hello fellow BiggerPocketers:

I am based in Fairfield County.   The majority of my experience has been in Rental Income properties, but I'm expanding into Fix and Flips.   I'm looking to connect with anyone who might be interested in networking, and/or a joint market campaign.  I will be aggressively marketing over the next few months, gearing up for Winter/Spring and Summer inventory.   First, please go ahead and Facebook me.  Next, let's start some dialogue.

@Tim Herndon - I am become a buyer if the deal pans out to be legit, but the seller is already flaking out.   I ended up speaking with a Short Sale processor (ever used one on your deals?).   You answered the question I was looking for - I need to check whether I can negotiate with the lender directly.     Thanks a bunch, again.

@Wayne Brooks - But as a Short Sale, shouldn't I be negotiating directly with the bank on behalf of the client, before it gets listed with a broker
