There is a big difference between a mentor and paid coach,  btw. 

He has 2: one that is designed to teach you how to be a sophisticated investor and a second program that is 1-on-1 coaching (not sure if you actually work w/ Brad or a member of his team). 

I came across John Cochran aka the "King of systems" and of systems Saturday videos..so he has a 90 day investment challenge where he provides info and coaching for 90 days and all deals are split 50/50 but he asks for a $2,000 upfront deposit which he says you get back on the first deal.Anyone have any info or reviews on this?

I can pass along a contact I have for coaching about lease options, if you want.

I am wondering if there is an easy way in Cook County to find the amount of legal units in a multifamily property without pulling a zoning certificate.My situation:I have a property that is being marketed as a 5 unit, 3 units main & 2 units coach house.

The fast way is to hire a coach who specializes in the strategy you are interested in pursuing.I was doing everything myself for about 10 years and I acquired 5 properties.

Currently i'm looking for a mentor or coach to get me on the right track.

Though I have a full time job as a tennis coach, I am looking to buy and hold rentals in another market, which is why I am currently reading David Greene's "Long-Distance Real Estate Investing". 

I would recommend finding a coach or mentor in the specific space your interested in.

I've been researching lease options on the internet and there is a lot of information and coaching on the subject.
