I have a friend who's starting BRRRR in Tacoma, but he has more investment capital to start and hired a real estate coach.

Many people have read books, or taken a class or signed up for a guru or coach on the benefits of MF investments, and certainly is evidenced by the recent rise of syndications in the MF space in the last few years.

Their coaching was lack luster and their training was weak.

I like the ability to easily invest in new construction deals throughout the country where teams are already set up in place and they are able to coach me through the strategy of how to accomplish my goals. 

They have to treat the buyer as a customer not client (or switch to transaction broker (neutral paper-pusher not coaching either side) but it’s kinda too late for that as they’ve already advised the seller on listing price etc.).

When you hire a business coach - is it education or consulting?

I've met Dean several times, attended his Note Summits, bought notes from him and was coaching for him in his online program back in 2010 and 2011.

I'm not against paying for education and coaching.

I've been networking and have met experienced contractors and have been receiving mentoring and coaching through experienced investors.

One of their coaches that did follow up coaching was someone with very modest experience and often called me for advice.
