Who am I already connected to here on BP who can assist me with an SFR investment in the city?

Now, if this coach is going to co-GP your deal, bringing their balance sheet to secure a loan, investor connections to help raise the money, asset management skills, broker connections, etc to actually get a deal done, then maybe that is worth the share of profit, but most guru's I hear about are available for questions you bring to them, and put you through a generic course, typically with market selection information, basic underwriting education, etc.  

One example is a piece of land currently on online auction it’s 18 acres.

@Jerry Daily, We just connected via pm.
