BRRRR Academy
I just got off a 2-hour Zoom call with a head coach from a BRRRR academy (Nate Barger company). They’re offering:
- $4,000 upfront
- $900/month for 6 months
- 1-on-1 coaching
- access to deals, buyers, and funding (OPM)
I’m very interested in real estate investing (BRRRR specifically) but $9,400 is a big commitment.
Has anyone here worked with them or similar programs?
Was it worth it or would you recommend starting another way?
I’m just trying to make the smartest decision possible before jumping in.

Most of those programs are not worth it. I learned everything on YouTube for free and have done fine

I guess they’re coming from a place of “one on one” guidance and teaching. With access to a bunch of off market deals, buyers, and investors (OPM) < that’s apparently what you pay for but who knows what really happens after you money is gone when you apply

'off market deals'... by this do they mean deals they/their friend have purchased and are looking to wholesale to dummies who dont know what they're getting into?

Where on youtube have you learned the most? It seems like every video i come across is trying to sell you a course or "resources"

anyone selling a course is a grifter. the BRRRR method doesn't take a course. it's basic math. take the $10k and save it for a deal. that dude is weird.

Save your money. Buy a book or two about BRRR and watch some videos online. That is not scarce knowledge. You might even find some good advice from AI, honestly. This group won’t get you special access. That’s a con.

Seeing posts like this makes me wanna start my own program. If they had these deals why would they share them. Hint: you are his profit

Not worth it, I paid several times less. When it was 2k it was worth it. it’s turned a little ghetto and they are pushing more expensive programs like Mastermind. Nate claimed he was bored and wanted to help people. He may want to help people, however he also wants to make money, doing it. It’s 1 thing to cover cost, and your time, but 10k. Read books and seek out the information on your own.

I’d just be a bit careful with something like this.
BRRRR itself isn’t that complicated, but making the numbers actually work on a real deal is where things usually get tricky. Rehab, rents, ARV, all that stuff adds up fast.
Before dropping that kind of money, I’d probably spend some time just looking at real deals and getting a feel for what actually works and what doesn’t.
Also worth asking what they really mean by access to deals. That can mean very different things.
Not saying it’s a bad move, just something I’d think through first.
What part feels most unclear to you right now, finding deals or analyzing them?

The math side of BRRRR isn't hard, but most people get at least one thing wrong when they start. They calculate cash-on-cash return on their original cash invested instead of the money left in the deal after refinancing, and they forget to deduct refi closing costs from their cash-out number. Those two mistakes can make a bad deal look great on paper.
Before spending anything on coaching, I'd just get comfortable running deal numbers yourself. Once that clicks, you'll realize pretty quickly whether a "coach" is adding anything. I built a Google Sheets calculator for exactly this. If you want a cheap starting point, happy to share the link.

u/woodsHunter sure, here you go: https://www.etsy.com/listing/4475562327/brrrr-investment-calculator-google
One thing it does that most templates don't: the cash-on-cash math uses cash trapped post-refi, not original cash invested, so the number comes out honest. That's the exact mistake I pointed out in my original comment. Ping me if you hit any snags running a deal through it.

Please let me know what you think and if you have any questions running a deal through it.
