Coaching or mentorship in real estate investing can allow you to collapse time and "skip to the front of the line" by leveraging the experience and knowledge of those who have already achieved success in the industry.

If you are moving from your SFR to another property, then you should be able to get a 5% down loan or even 3% if it's FHA.  25% is only if you won't be living in the property in my experience.

That might include things like adding units, converting commercial space to residential, or finding ways to boost income (like adding parking).The key is recognizing opportunities while walking the property, and that takes experience.

At the very least you will want to have some general foundations set because with time you will modify processes and the learnings via experience you gain.

It’s definitely exciting to see suburban Chicago getting recognition as a hot rental market—it’s something I’ve noticed in my own experience as well.

Learn by experience and making mistakes.One issue is most people who buying coaching only buy one program or max 2, so it's pretty hard to rank them.If you are convinced this is what you want to do, I'd look at Lifestyles, Total Wealth Academy and Brad Sumrok's programs. 

Does anyone have any experience with any of these platforms?

So far, my experience has been good with Juan Pablo 100% financed.

@Arun MaheshwariFrom my experience of working with over 400 investors, Richmond, Texas, is a promising location for single-family home investments due to its growing population, suburban appeal, and proximity to Houston's strong job market.

This consist of having a good agent preferably one that works with and has investor experience.
