I'm keeping all options and doors open. I'm simply researching and collecting information to finalize the right plan for myself. Your story about the girl who found a partner on the 30% deal sounds great.  I 'm actively working to find similar opportunities that will work for me.

I don't know what you are implying... but there is nothing in taking the time to think thru a venture as big an REI. Thank you for input.

thank you @John Hixon that sounds great. I will message him right now.

Hi to all investors in the DFW area.

What are the different 101 coaching programs in the DFW area? what is the cost? what do you get for your money? Do you know anyone who has done it before? etc...

thur far I'm aware of:  

REIA - Addison - Phil and Shenoah Grove 1 year, 3 months of 101 coaching, access to their private money, deal partnering, and they help to set up your entities, websites, tools etc... - $20,000 or $35,000

Roddy Round UP - George Roddy Jr. 1 year, 10 (101) sessions for 6weeks? deal partnering, You need at least $600/month of marketing.

My story:

I work a full time job I love, I would like to continue to work it. I have always been interested in getting into real estate. After thinking about it for a year, I decided I'll jump right in. I started attending local REI clubs and organizations in the area. I have also spend hours reading books, watching videos, listening to podcasts, attending seminars etc.. I have also signed up for bigger pockets pro and I have been on the site religiously. Education alone is not enough for me, I want to get hands on experience with guidance from someone who's been there (so pleaaaase have merci with your comments about how paying for coaching is not necessary :) ).

I would like, in the next 2-3 months, to start a local coaching program. I have certain goals that I would like to achieve by the end of the year, and I want to bypass the rookie mistakes.  

I'm driven, passionate and dedicated and a really fast learning. Mentors don't come easy when you are new and newbies make a lot of mistakes. Mistakes are a part of life, i understand. 101 coaching programs allow me to reduce the amount of time I need to reach my goals, I get significantly save time and capital from getting a mentor.

I like paying for my mentorship because I can keep them accountable to education and show me the ropes.

I would really appreciate your feedback

I read the whole thread, uh...

I'm exhausted.

I attended @Phillip Grove's seminar this weekend, well yesterday. I was really impressed. The seminar is for the beginner investor and it was comprehensive, dynamic, and highly informative. He did an excellent job combining educational and motivational material. I have gone to many meetings, seminars, and classes thus far. This is the first event that captured my attention. I did not miss a minute of the event. I was rushing to be there on time, and stayed the whole time. I took over 30pages of notes. I feel ready to move on to the next step in my REI journey.

Compared to other events I have atended. The room was still packed to the end considering the fact that it was a sun evening.

We have beat this horse enough, but... my 2 cents... 

If you are going to judge the man, judge him accurately. Even if his events are bait an switch, still does not take aways from the fact that the information was really good. When you have newbie investors, you don't want to overwhelm them with a $50000 on the first day. You introduce things to them slowly and build on that.

Honestly, we have bait and switch on this site too. I 'm constently being asked to upgrade to pro. Small $ same tactics. So you are all using same tricks! But still the benefits are really worth it!!!!

I was there yesterday, and not one member of his team forced me to sign up for anything. I was given the information, and as an "adult" I had the choice to decide if I was to say yes or no.

If you don't want to sign up for the training, say NO!

Don't come here and complain and degrade a man's reputation, because he does not operate the way you do.

Also just because most people on this site can "do it themselves" does not mean that everyone else can. Judge @Phillip Grove for the substance of his seminar or training, not your own biased on "Gurus" who charge money.

Message to anyone who may be interested in working the Groves. I attend 4 REI clubs regularly (I have been for the past 2 and 1/2 months). The Groves meetings are the most comprehensive: you get motivation, quality information, and a lot of people to network with seasoned and newbie investors.

I'm looking forward to leanring from everyone on this site. I just hope we can be fair.
