“Comments about the Mentor program and your Mentor are welcome”:
“Tim has a vast wealth of knowledge and experience of investing in any economy. Debbie and I feel he and his team go the extra mile to set us up for success from the start. We really enjoyed working with Tim. He’s up front, honest, humble and likes to educate. We don’t meet people with Tim’s caliber every day. We really appreciate him flying across the country spending time away from his family to help us jump start and add value to our business. Plus, you get a sense that he is choosing to do this, with his knowledge I have a feeling he doesn’t need to and he really enjoys helping people that want to help themselves be successful. Thank you Tim.”

DISSUSSION BOARD
Dear Mr. Kyosaki and fellow students,
Tim Chaffin, mentored us Aug 30, Sept 2 here in Bismarck, ND. Tim is superb. I can now understand why Tim is the MENTOR OF Mentors. My focus is buy to rent… longterm. It’s one of Tim’s specialty. We drove for $$$, sent postcards, set goals, talked to realtors and mortgage brokers, made phone calls, analyzed to see if a property was a deal, and made offers. His style of mentoring is fantastic. He gives of his time unselfishly. I now see the lease-option class as our next class if the hurricanes ever subside. I took the wholesale class again since then and it was excellent reinforcement for me. With Kindest Regards,
Ron Dvorak
Bismarck, ND
Total agreement there Ron, Tim, Mr, America, ROCKS! We had him back a second time and it was even better if you can believe it!
Harrison Frolick
Columbus, OH
Just want to say a quick thank you to Tim Chaffin the Mentor’s Mentor! What an AWSOME man. We could not have asked for a better experience. Tim is so full of knowledge complimented with years of experience. He is a mentor who can teach you all aspects of investing from wholesale, lease option, property management, long term rentals, rehab, foreclosure, commercial, asset protection and just about any other real estate or business strategies you would want to know. He showed us things that no other person has been able to. He gave us the tools we needed to take our Real Estate business to another level! We already had a solid foundation on real estate investing thanks to Rich Dad Education and the Advanced Trainings, but Tim was able to fine-tune our skills, increase our power team and improve our time management to make us better investors. He opened our eyes to different ways of finding deals and opportunities. He pushed us to look at things we already knew in a different way to maximize our potential. During his stay we put a triplex under contract which will increase our net worth $40,000.00 and give us a positive cash flow $500+ a month all without using any of our own money. We are also in negotiations of a 12-unit apartment complex directly as a result of our actions with Tim. He teaches all this with an energy level not found in many other people. I only hope you have the opportunity to be mentored by Tim. Kym & I Thank You Tim!!!! Marc A Hrisko coasttocoastpropertycorp.com
As you have found out Tim is the Best of the Best. Plus he is just plain nice as you have too. Had him back for a second time and it was even that much better. Glad to hear he is still out there helping people get involved in this wonderful profession! Continued good fortunes!!!
