Testimonials
"My experience being coached by your team has been very positive. What I appreciate most is your team understands real estate and the process of what should happen in what order. Your homework
assignments follow a very logical progression example: drive by and study curb appeal look at property make offers and attend REIA meetings. All of the assignments have given me new working knowledge and aide in building my team which is important to have to be successful in real estate." - Patricia
"Working with you has been more than helpful. On the days that I didn’t think I could go on you
were encouraging and always had a “you can do this” way of getting me through the day. I really
appreciated the phone calls and your words of wisdom. I am not sure I would have got through this first house with out you. Thank you for being a kind and inspirational person and I hope our paths cross again.
Thank you."- Kelly OFs
"Thanks so much for the coaching over the past couple of months. It's been very helpful in getting me out of my comfort zone looking at things from a different perspective and keeping my options open for new and larger opportunities. I'm excited about the future and am very grateful that you have graciously offered to be available if I ever need your expertise on future deals. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to other students needing/wanting coaching. Best to you!" - Artie
"After last Friday’s final regular session Marilyn and I had a chance to review what our weekly sessions had helped us with and how. As a result of our review we wanted to add to the verbal thank you expressed at that session. Our coaching/mentoring sessions helped us keep going and keep our efforts pointed toward establishing a successful real estate investing business. We’d especially like to thank you for your encouragement during the early days when we were questioning the wisdom of our entry into this business. We’d also like to thank you for your technical guidance. You helped us to develop and refine our approaches to searching for and select candidate proper to identifying appropriate lending options and negotiating with lenders and sellers/agents. Further we appreciate the way you encourage us to discuss what we had accomplished since our last session and what our plans were for the coming week. You encouraged us to contact you when problems arose or we had questions. This was particularly helpful on several occasions when we wanted some ideas on negotiation with a seller re inspection/replacement of an electrical panel and how to look at the impact of buy and hold vs. fix
and flip on cash flow and equity growth.
You have been available when needed and have never failed to help us understand what needed to be done. Your willingness to allow us to continue to contact you when problems or questions arise is another reason we feel grateful to have had you as our coach/mentor." - Matt & Marilyn Carroll
I am writing to say thank you for all of the help you have provided in my real estate
business. So far I have been able to put a house under contract $59,000 the approximate value of this home is about $75,000. I am confident that I should be
able to sell this home for nice increase over the contract price. The following advice you have given has made this possible.
1. You said to just get out and make offers.
This is the biggest key in the entire process. The more offers made the greater chances of success you will have.
2. Every home is a good home at some price. The house I have under contract is not the typical investment property. It is a 728 square foot home with a full basement 2 upstairs bedrooms with a non conforming in the basement. Normally investors are told to go after a 1500 square foot 3 bedroom and bath home. These homes are great when they can be found but any home is good home at some price.
3. Actively market any home under contract. This is important. On my first marketing attempt I was able to show this home to 4 cash buyers. I was also able to make contact with another cash buyer who was not interested in this home but he said he would be interested in another type of home if I could find one for him.
I will keep you posted as this deal progresses. In the mean time I want to say thank you for all you have done.
Your three day mentorship was an eye opening experience. I always believed that a real estate transaction was an evolved process but the interplay of the many players brought that belief into
a clearer reality.
Finding and analyzing the property, calculating the rehab cost, comparing the value of the property to those other similar in the neighbor hood, qualifying the profit margin(20% or $20K, making sure all documentation with the: contractor, lending partner, closing attorney, structuring attorney and my financing are in line with the closing process.
The combination of the online tutoring with in the field experience should allow any one to put meat on the bones of their entity to meet our financial goals. Money isn't every thing but it sure does help us on our road of happiness.
Please let me know if i should be doing any thing else to speed this process along.
Best regards, Jim Spillman
Tamara - "A Difficult Flip"
"I would like to drop a quick note to thank you for your guidance and encouragement to help make our first
purchase. Kate and I took your advice and not purchase that property with a cottage and a home. You are correct we can not afford a mortgage. A few days later we had an offer accepted for a prop much more suited for a first time flip." - Stephen Brissette

"Wanted to send this to acknowledge all your support provided to me during our weekly calls.
You were always prompt with your calls and let me know in advance if there would be any change in time of the calls. We really appreciated not having to wait to see if we would get the call at our scheduled time.
Your advice was timely and informative. It helped us keep on track to reaching our goals. Thank you for all you did. Also wanted to thank you for offering to be available in the future if we have any other specific questions." - Richard & Olivia Ashton
"My coaching experience with Chad's team. First and foremost with the difficulty of finding deals Jeff keeps me motivated I think without that support I would have already decided that this flipping just wasn’t going to work. Jeff goes over what I had done for the week and then gives me his thoughts on what I had done and helps me fine tune those things I had done. Jeff gives me ideas on new things to try each week and then follows up on my progress each week. He also reminds me each week offers offers offers or no success. He tells me that the difficulty I am having getting my first deal will make me understand that it isn’t easy and will make me more successful in the long run. I feel my coaching is a very important part of the success I am going to have hopefully in the near future." - Fred D Gompf Jr.
The Sky's The Limit - Lewis & Ziada
At first I had no clue what I was doing and why did I need a coach. As time goes by week to week I became aware of what I needed, I needed help from you. You always had a good thing to say you never gave on me. Instead of not wanting to talk after awhile I needed that feedback from you. Every week I was getting closer and you did not allow me to make excuses. What you also did was not make me wrong. Each week you words worked on me to where I was able to move forward. I was scared to death and you told me don't give up you can do it. This couch program it so important to people who think they can take on the world after there training. I think you called overwhelmed. You couched me back into the real world where you have to work for everything you want from real estate and if you keep working at it every day you will achieve your goal. The main thing you did was you always believed in me when I was on the brink and wondering can I really do real estate. Thank you for believing in me and when success comes to me you had a large part in pushing me toward success. I know success is up to me but with you coaching me it will be that much sweeter when success comes it just means so much more when you can share it with a friend.
AWESOME COACH
I just wanted to thank you for your help. You’re easy to talk to and have a lot of compassion and patience. He has a wealth of information and insight into various facets of real estate investing. They usually have an answer for any question I have on any subject pertaining to real estate investing. They're friendly and always willing to help. I appreciate learning all I've learned from them thus far and look forward to a successful career in real estate investing. I am so happy I ended up with a coach like Jeff. - Marvin Robinson
Someone smart said that the road to success has three steps: 1) get the right information from the right people, 2) execute those strategies under expert supervision, 3) repeat until proficient.
This is not the first program we've been in to learn about real estate investing, but Brian Petersen's one-on-one mentorship has been the closest to the practical experience we actually need. He does everything, step by step: analyzing the town and its neighborhoods, visits to residential and commercial properties, evaluation, photos, analyzing the numbers and how to translate them to maximum profit, curb appeal, the age and condition of the house, materials, possible exit strategies, etc. We became acquainted with contractor groups, real estate agents, property managers, money lenders… He has an answer to every question, a call or e-mail in response to every request - and that's on top of being very interesting to talk to and knowing all the best places to eat in Kansas City.
Oh, almost forgot - as a result of the trip, we now have a residential flip, a 4-unit residential rental and a 10-unit commercial rental under contract, and a team of people we can keep working with for many years and houses yet.
In short, for us this has been the best time spent and money invested in a year and a half of our investment education.

"We want to thank your team first and foremost for coaching and mentoring us for the past 10 weeks as we continue our journey into the real estate investing world. With your guidance and support, we feel motivated to pursue what we've already started despite the frustrations. Based on our phone conversations these past weeks we have the following comments; Meeting started right on time each time (we now expect such punctuality from other people, I'm yet to meet anyone as punctual. You answered most of our questions You gave us good pointers and tips like using pizza delivery drivers as bird dogs, that's an unconventional way of marketing. You encouraged and motivated us, giving us hope that we're on the right track and applying all that we've been taught for our next deals. You encouraged us to ask questions when we didn't have any. We feel empowered to know we have a mentor we can go to if we have questions. Thank you once again" - Colin & Essi
Thank you so much for all your help over the last number of weeks. You have helped me in virtually every aspect of real estate and enabled me to better visualized my direction based on my experience and abilities. You have given me ideas for finding properties buying them renovating them and finally the marketing of those properties.
Along the way we spoke at great length about contracts earnest money due
diligence working with title companies wholesalers hard money lenders and Realtors. When I was unable to find properties you kept me focused and believing positively in my goals and game plan. And sure enough as you told me there suddenly became properties almost every place I looked.
I appreciate your promptness and availability both on our scheduled phone calls and my impromptu calls and text messages on occasions that seemed like emergencies at that time from my perspective. It is hard for me to believe that we have already spent four months with our weekly discussions. I was sorry to hear that our formal scheduled calls had ended. However I am very pleased with all your input and know you will be available if and when I need some special help. You were correct in stating that focus and effort will pay off if one keeps to there game plan. And although I am still learning the concepts and principles that you laid out for me will continue to develop in my mind and I believe my financial success will be soon to follow. With reference to real estate dealings I want you to know that with your input and ideas I feel very confident now in myself and know that I can count on you for advice if and when I should get into trouble or encounter a situation beyond my current ability.
Again thank you so very much for you time effort advice and of course patience. You have been a big help to my career and I look forward to and am confident in our continuing communication with reference to your exceptional knowledge in real estate matters. Once again thank you so very much. - Don Spalletta
"For me the best part of the whole program has been the coaching sessions. I like being able to discuss my specific situation and investment plan. I like the fact that you share your honest opinions as your knowledge is very valuable to one less experienced. The focus is on making the client successful which is what it requires for a program like this to succeed itself." - John Stout
