I have a real estate agent/investor friend in Coeur d'Alene as well, we both coached wrestling at one time and built a strong relationship before both moving on. 

Granted these arent just any first time GP’s they paid alot of money for coaching and mentorship which I know people have varying opinions on but I find it important.  

This family was moving into the area due to having a new coaching position at the local university. 

I had considered putting together a real coaching program to show people how to be a professional locator.

Find a coach who resonates with you and explore their YT videos and websites, then consider investing.

Why do I coach and why am I different?

I have tried, then I got licensed and discovered a passion for teaching, coaching and helping people with real estate. 

Anyone have ideas for how to find a business coach?

There are some great negotiating coaches in Utah that often teach courses in this.

there was one lender on BP that did ask for 3k up front but they said that was to buy their coaching materials and you would get it rebated when your loan closed.. many tried very very few loans got closed..
