Real Estate Investing

The Prosper real estate coaches have established a strong reputation for success by helping thousands of students learn about real estate investing. The department currently has over 60 years of mentoring experience and over 80 years of personal investing experience. The diversity of the coaches’ knowledge and experience add to the value of the department as all possible areas of real estate investing can be mentored. The ideas that are presented to their students are tested principles as all of the coaches are currently investing in real estate and furthering their own education through hands on experience. In addition to their own investing activities, the coaches are continually participating in national seminars, conference calls, video trainings, and other courses to keep them constantly informed and up-to-date in the real estate industry. With their knowledge and expertise, the coaches have assisted clients in the buying and selling of millions of dollars worth of real estate properties.

Aside from the weekly appointments with your personal coach, you can also expect:

• Weekly live conference calls on different real estate topics. The conference calls are a great way to gain additional knowledge and learn from some of the nations top real estate instructors. They will also provide students with the opportunity to consult and learn from other students in a similar situation. The calls are also accessible throughout the week on a recorded line in case you can’t attend the live call.
  
• Access to our real estate resource line. We understand that as a student in our program you may often have quick questions that need quick attention and the resource line is there for that purpose. Throughout the workweek, we allow all of our students to utilize the resource line as a tool to help them in their education.
  
• A complete real estate curriculum manual to assist you in your education. As your coach is teaching you new real estate principles, you will be able to follow along in our manual. The manual will allow you to take notes and recall what topics were discussed in your weekly sessions.
  
• Additional materials as determined by the director of your program. After meeting with your director, he or she will determine what other tools would be helpful in your education. Some of the tools include additional notebooks and CD’s, websites specifically designed for a real estate investor, educational materials, and other valuable real estate materials.

The one-on-one coaching relationship allows the client to suggest to the coach what areas they want to concentrate on and helps the client to fully understand a principle before moving on. Because the client is in control of the direction of the mentoring program, the following real estate topics are only suggestions of what can be covered during the program. These topics can, and probably will be, altered to meet the needs of the client.
