Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Real Estate Coach?
Our mission is to provide the finest, practical education for real estate investors. The group consists of industry professionals, educators, bankers, attorneys, CPA's, investors, rehabbers, tradesmen, realtors, and students. This network of professionals allows investors the ability to rapidly accelerate the time, energy, and resources it takes to learn how to invest in real estate and realize a profit.

How do classes work?
Each qualified investor is given a comprehensive evaluation. Once that is complete, a specific goal achievement plan is created. The investor attends a weekly online class for 10 weeks where they learn specific techniques and strategy to achieve their goals.

Each month, a phone or personal meeting is scheduled with your mentor/coach to review your plan and adjust your goals and tasks to insure your success as a real estate investor.

Within a few weeks, students are expected to begin investing. Each deal is reviewed by the teacher and thoroughly analyzed by professionals prior to moving forward. Within three to six months, students are active real estate investors.

How much time does it take?
Students should allow a minimum of 5-10 hours per week to invest in real estate on a part-time basis. Each student/investor is treated as an individual. Your personal goals and plans will dictate the time necessary to achieve them.

How much is tuition? What are the guarantees?
Tuition is discussed during the interview process. This guarantee specifically states, "If you have not doubled your initial investment back within 6 months from your enrollment date, you can continue to work with your coach until your agreed upon goals are achieved at no additional cost; provided you honor the commitments above."

What if I have already started investing?
Nearly half of all students have already invested in at least two income properties prior to enrolling. These investors find the networking, business planning, and deals done as a 1-888-RECOACH member more than increase their returns and dramatically accelerate their investing.

Why is your learning method superior to all others?
Just as it would be ridiculous to learn to play the piano by simply reading a book or attending a weekend seminar, real estate education is best learned over time, with a teacher, and by DOING IT! This is the only methodology that produces measurable results in this industry.

How long have you been in business?
The public Springboard Academy was founded in 2001 by real estate investor and entrepreneur, Doug Crowe.  In 2007, the public academy was closed and he now teaches privately, part-time at “The Real Estate Coach”.

Who are the instructors?
Doug Crowe, the lead trainer for the organization has been investing since 1986. The combined experience of all the principles, advisors, and instructors exceeds 57 years and over $200,000,000 in real estate transactions. The Springboard Group incorporated in August of 2001.
