Both my wife and I are sport coaches.  

I have taken the Fortune Builders 3 day insider workshop and feel that the Mastery ( 12-24 month step by step mentoring and coaching program) might be a huge confidence booster and eliminate some of my fear. 

They also have weekly coaching calls if you are stuck. 

Very few coaches out there genuinely want you to succeed.

Then lastly... please forget driving for dollars door knocking and all these other crap methods.It is LUCK if you get a deal like that.If you want a sure way to make it in this business you seriously need to stop listening to "coaches" and start thinking using your own brain!

I know this was lengthy, so please read with patience and understanding for I am new to this and I’m attempting to wholesale my first deal without a mentor (since mentors/coaching is expensive) and I’m having a hard time finding a wholesaler who would be willing to work with a newbie.

How about taking some time, probably with a coach or mentor, to find out what it is that you really want out of life and that way you can design your life to help you achieve that.

I am sure there are properties in the Phoenix market for which BRRRR works but so far I have not seen any deal with a purchase price below 70% (we actually need to hit the 50% mark if we want to rehab and pull our money back out). in his profile page, @Shiloh Lundahl mentions a coaching program and says: "This type of coaching would not be as valuable for someone wanting to learn how to wholesale or someone wanting to invest in expensive markets (over 150k medium home price) or someone without a current income"I guess this reinforces my assumption that in such a hot and expensive market such as Phoenix, making BRRRR work is this much more difficult than in cheaper markets, right? 

I am wondering - how many of you hired a mentor/ coach?

Think of it this way: owning a portfolio of PM-managed properties without any personal experience in property management is a bit like trying to manage a mechanic's shop with zero experience fixing cars, trying to coach a team to an NBA championship with no basketball experience, or trying to manage a law office with no legal experience.
