I have spent a LOT of money on instructors and coaching over the years.

Quote from @John Underwood: Quote from @Michael Baum: Hey @Kerry G., just call the county/city and get the skinny.

Has anyone participated or know of Coach Carson's Rental Property Mastery (RPM) group?

Chad “Coach” Carson explains this approach best IMO. 

I have been trying to avoid the coaching programs (limited capital) but it seems like I might need one if (and/or)  not a lawyer on retainer to sort  through it all.

John D: any update after the presentation?

Knowing this information will help you identify the right professionals to bring on board.At minimum, your team team should include:Financial Advisor: to help with investment strategies - portfolio diversification and risk management.Real Estate Agent/Broker: to help with property acquisition and market analysis.Accountant or Tax Advisor: to help manage financial records, tax planning, and optimization.Attorney: to provide legal counsel for contracts, agreements, and investment structures.Mentor or Coach: to offer guidance, insights, and industry knowledge.Networking and Relationship Builder (for everything else you will need): to connect you with potential partners and collaborators.

Quote from @John Geldert: @John McArdle terrific I will add you to the list.

1. coaching- all of the "coaches" were newbies themselves with about 1 year of experience and about 1 deal under their belts and they always disappear after 2-3 months and get replaced with new "coaches".2. networking- they have a FB group, populated primarily by other newbies. go there to answer questions, and it's likely you'll get other newbies saying "good question". there are lots of newbies hoping to get into a deal, but who wants to put together a team where every single person is brand new with no experience?

Hey @Rick Dane, I second @John Underwood suggestion.Insurance rates are all over the place in FL right now.
