Real Estate Investing Education & Coaching
Teach and coach aspiring real estate investors
Overview
Real estate investing educators teach others how to invest in real estate through courses, coaching, workshops, and mentoring.
You share your investing knowledge and experience, teach specific strategies (flipping, rentals, wholesaling, etc.), guide students through their first deals, potentially host events or masterminds, create educational content and resources, and help students avoid mistakes.
Success requires proven real estate investing experience, teaching and communication abilities, course creation or coaching skills, marketing to aspiring investors, and genuine desire to help others succeed.
Pricing varies widely—online courses ($200-2,000), coaching packages ($1,000-10,000+), workshops and events ($500-5,000), masterminds and high-level mentoring ($ 10,000-50,000+), books and resources, or free content monetized through affiliate relationships.
Startup costs include course creation (content, video, platform, $1,000-10,000), website and marketing, potentially event space for workshops, business formation, coach training or certification (optional), marketing and advertising budget, and technology for delivery totaling $5,000-25,000.
Building client base involves content marketing showing your investing success and knowledge, free valuable content building audience, social media sharing your journey and tips, potentially writing book establishing authority, speaking at real estate events, podcast or YouTube channel, offering low-ticket entry products leading to higher ticket, testimonials from successful students, and being authentic and transparent.
Revenue comes from course sales, coaching and mentoring packages, live events and workshops, mastermind memberships, affiliate revenue from tools and services you recommend, potentially co-investing with students, or speaking fees.
Operating costs include course platform and hosting, marketing and advertising (significant for course businesses), continuing your own investing education, potentially assistants or coaches as you scale, event costs if hosting live events, and content creation time.
Challenges include education market very competitive and crowded, proving credibility (need real results), some stigma from scammy real estate gurus, balancing education business with actual investing, managing student expectations (not everyone succeeds), and creating quality content that delivers value.
Success requires genuine investing experience and results (students smell BS), focus on student success not just sales, creating excellent content and programs, managing expectations realistically (investing is work), potentially specializing in specific investing strategy, building community around your teaching, being authentic and transparent, continuing to invest yourself (practice what you teach), and understanding you're in education business requiring different skills than investing.
Real estate education serves aspiring investors wanting mentorship and knowledge.
