Michael, you're in the business of getting people to pay you to coach them, mentor them or show them fantasic ways to do deals, so It's smoke a mirrors, hype and something that gains attention.

I babysat, cleaned roofs, coached soccer and did other old ball jobs to make money till I finished high school.

I'm a skeptic by nature and I'm really skeptical about most pay-for-play RE coaches, mentors, and/or gurus.

Also, some people actually provide coaching or consulting but you here people bash them as calling them guru's.

Sorry to say this, but with a question like do you really think you should be classifying yourself as "Real Esate Coach" as you do in your profile?

They are trained, coached and mentored to be GREAT Real Estate Investors.ThanksDan Schemerhorn

You are in Alabama, at Walmart, addicted to BP, and want a perfect niche in Real Estate.Antonio, I coach lease option assignments, sub2 and private lending - jv partnering.These coaching clients that have bills, kids, 40 to 60 hour jobs, and that they want to DIE to quit their current life and have time and money freedom.

If you are looking for a mentor or coach then that's a different questions.

I've been to a few of these events and they try to sell you on a package where they provide all of the seed capital and all you have to do is the management and finding the properties and they provide coaching and training.

I personally think it's worth the investment if anything for the coaching calls and download able documents provided
