I've taken the 6 week course with Andrew Holmes (2/5/7) as well as studied numerous other courses with Laura Al Amery, Rick Dawson, Coach Mitchell, Shawn Buige, Joanne Musa & Larry Goins.

Even if it was an top notch program and had great support and ongoing coaching with experienced people that would give abundant 1 on 1 time it still is pretty expensive.If the product wasn't that good and they didn't follow what they did learn then it was a big waste of money.

There are opportunities to get coaching help from Chris Hake at Madison REIA. 

Get the tenant to a FICO coach like www.UpgradeMyCredit.com , worth the money.Tips to prevent a lease option from being a sale, these are IRS tips:1.

I am currently seeking a mentor/coach relationship, preferably someone in Philadelphia with years of experience in the real estate industry who may be looking for a young, motivated individual.

We put 3% down and went with a conventional loan to secure a better rate (5.5%), shoutout to @Upen Patel at the Federal Savings Bank for coaching us through the lending process.How did you add value to the deal?

I'm real estate coach and I'm not ashamed about it.

But, I was told to stay away from those mentoring or coaching programs where you pay a stranger to look out for your best interests.

Actually, the BP rules d not restrict you from saying who your mentor was, unless you're coaching and drawing PM's to make an offer, which can be against the rules.
