How can I find a good real estate investment coach?

I'm not sure about Paul, but you asking the question on this site must represent something….. When I find the perfect property or the best accountant (with fair value, I am still looking for him/her). I will know. You will also know when you find the right coach. I participated in triathlon for 15 years at a high level. You will know very quickly when your mentor/coach caters for your personality, strengths and weaknesses.

What is the definition of a coach,

A couple of points that come to mind:

1. Completely transparent.
2. A role model.
3. Their happiness is directly correlated to your success.
4. A coach is very generous of their time to watch you succeed.
5. Open minded, will play with many ideas and concepts.

How do the above five points relate to you?

1. What does your coach stand to gain?
2. Has your coach got a property portfolio from a tested past record (inheritance or like is not included).
3. This speaks for itself.
4. We all know time is money, will your coach watch the clock or charge you by the hour?
5. Does your coach believe there are many ways to increase your wealth, as a single focus on positive geared properties may not be for you, further, it is not the only way to create wealth.

I understand there are many  points around, "what is a coach"……..but, I think you get the drift.

Here's a thought, Why not use three or even five coaches. The opportunity cost of using one coach could be huge……..

Hi all,

I have to say Property Secret Paul Giezekamp charges a lot of money, and a lot of time they are not resposive.
I called and emailed them many times and left the message, however, i hardly get any response from them.
Often i get the response many weeks later…….  not very happy.
They are advertising, they can complete the granny flat within 12 weeks, but they didn't tell you the loan application and process with take half year ! 
 
often you will find yourself overcapitalised ( because of the fee charge and all the little unknown/unforseen items such as water tank block the entrance)

i am one of their client and I strongly not recommending anyone to use property secret,  simply too much headache to deal with them.

Unhappy client of property secret

Wow you replied after 2 years?? 

Reply after 2 years? Is not it too late? I see a bad customer service here… I am sure your client have already found a new coach. 

Coach sounds so much better than over paid consultant.
