However, I would not buy his program and I've bought many so I'm not against paying for coaching, learning, mentoring. 

I've never personally heard of him, but this is one of the key things I looked for when I found my mentor.

I've met some of my best friends and mentors at events.3. 

Maybe even find a mentor/ or friend that knows what they are doing.

Getting everything set up and researching as well as connecting with great contractors and mentors to get ready for my first flip.

No I don't Junior.

I didn’t do the BRRRR method and many of my mentors didn’t so I am bias towards not using it.  

You could also hire a mentor to help you out on your first syndication. 

It wasn't until I narrowed my focus on ONLY ONE THING general contracting that things fell more into place...My advice is to educate as much as  possible and find a niche that you can dive deep into.Meeting in person is where I found some of my best friends and mentors in the space.  

The book was released in 2018, pre-covid, and I wonder if the RE market has just changed this much or if Michael is just really focused on finding the 1 out of 100 deal that has the high cap rate and is a viable deal.Ideally I'd like to find a community/mentor that can give me some input on the realities and possibilities of the deals in today's market and normalize some of the viewpoints that Michael states in his book.
