Account ClosedDon't fall for shiny object syndrome... that is buying many leads, new coaching or anything that is a product advertised towards agent.

What books, seminars, online coaching, etc. did you find particularly helpful while beginning in the business? 

@Ilona KovacsI've been teaching & coaching for 8+ years now on all things Self Storage - buying & operating an Existing Facility, Development & Conversions, and Raising Private Money too.As there is a fine line on how much self-promoting one can do on this forum, please either PM me or google my name on the internet. 

Seminars won’t teach ya, coaching likely won’t either.

Do you know who peter vesselman is? And what do you think about his program

You can get a $1200 coach house a street over from a drug den.

All the books, coaching, webinars, seminars...they all paint a picture that anyone can do this with little to no money and poor credit.

They work through selling your first deal, and coach you as well. 

Since it is your first exchange believe me you want responsiveness and experience over saving a buck or two.  1031 is not a DIY and you should have support and coaching throughout the entire process start to finish and beyond.One place to ask would be at your local title company. 

Has anyone ever paid an astronomical price for coaching?
