I didn't train for it, I didn't hire a coach, heck...

I started by hiring a coach and passively investing to learn the process.

I recently came across an invitation to purchase Justin Wilmot's 10 Hour Wholesaling course....granted it is extremely inexpensive compared to what coaches at my local REIA are asking...but I just wanted some feedback to see if it's something that I should consider.

@Dylan BondGreetings, I’m new to investing as well and don’t really feel like paying for coaching, but totally see the benefit of surrounding ourselves with like minded people.I’m a teacher, but bought my first fourplex 6 months ago :)

Are there additional coaching/mentor fees?

My mentor/coach is teaching me amazing things.

(Note: Project Managers were previously called "Coaches", however, due to the confusion in people's understanding between their role in Real Estate Investing, versus "Coaches" or "Mentors" in the Mentoring Network, their title was adjusted).

5) would it be wise to hire a tax attorney to get information faster and use them as a sort of coach? 

@Josh Caldwell Just curious...what formal training did you get to be a "real estate coach"? 

A solid RE broker specializing in investments will can handle or coach you through most of it.
