Laura Al-Amery’s Coaching / Mentoring: Can it work for you?
How’s it going?
Thanks for stopping by. I am the Real Estate Spy. My name is Paul.
Today I am doing a review on Laura Al-Amery.
Shortly I will be talking about her and her offering as it relates to the following points:
- Laura Al-Amery as a real estate investing coach
- how/if she qualifies in the top real estate investing mentors
- and whether she should become your real estate investing coaching mentor.
Is it Mind-Blowing Mentoring?
I’ll get to that….first… I’ve got a couple questions for you just so I can invite you into a way of thinking about her mentoring for you.
Do you love your life and career?
I know it sounds a little weird asked that way but there’s a purpose in it. Stick with me for one second.
—-
- What I mean is do you feel completely filled every morning when you get out of bed?
- Is every morning incredible?
- Do you actually look forward to doing your work?
- Or, do you find yourself vegging out in your mind until you can get to that cup of coffee or whatever it takes to get you going in the morning?
I’m not talking about being sleepy here. I’m talking about something else:
Do you have a gut level feeling that has got you wondering why your life doesn’t feel like you’ve found your purpose.
The reason I ask is because those were the feelings that I had. I stumbled about my day trying to figure out why everything felt so empty.
I began to believe that maybe it was a fairy tale…you know have a life you wanna live, and make enough money to sustain myself.
I was getting tired of hearing how everybody had all this enthusiasm about designing a life that you love and living passionately.
For me the truth was that it didn’t feel like that really existed, but I was still willing to try to find it.
It felt difficult and it was sucking the life out of me.
Don’t get me wrong, I had a good job. But I hated it. Every day I went to work I felt like I left my soul at the door.
So what did I do?
I dove into real estate investing.
Unfortunately I was not prepared to make it all fly.
-I remember my enthusiasm reading all of the books by Robert Kiyosaki, Dolf De Roos listening to broadcasts on how to make money in real estate and why it was a no-brainer. For sure I was going to be Trump rich and I just knew it.
I was so excited. I remember buying my first property and then reality began to set in.
I bought WRONG, Regis. Final Answer…it really is possible.
I was not equipped to handle flaky renters that skipped on me and left my property destroyed.
I had no idea that having animals in the house, it can develop into a flea problem where all renters (even the good ones) have to move out.
So what did it cost me?
Everything. I lost it all. Rental Property, Primary Residence, Homes under contract….filed bankruptcy.
The thing is nobody talks about that. No one talks about all the failed real estate investors out there.
So that’s me. And if you are still with me it shows how dedicated you are to making sure that you look before you leap, and before you buy the REI Lambo to get you going towards your dreams.
What’s happened with me since?
Seven years later after my bankruptcy, I ran into a guy named James.
He was already making over 7 figures in his business and explained to me that I needed to think in terms of digital properties that I could rent house instead of homes.
He showed me how they cost less to create but have the same potential to generate income month in and month out. Besides it’s what all the real estate gurus are doing.
So as good as Laura Al-Amery’s program is, I’M OUT!
Please don’t misunderstand me. I’m not negative on Laura Al-Amery and her Tax Lien Property Program…coaching and mentoring.
I simply feel I found a better way. And I’m going to introduce you to my coach and mentor James here.
I put this blog together to warn you and give you an alternative. You don’t have to make the mistakes I made. Chances are you are smarter than I was anyways back then.
How do I know?
Actually most people run into real estate for quick riches, but you are on the right track because you are specifically looking at a very niche oriented aspect of real estate investing.
That is actually a brilliant move. One I’d encourage you to stay on.
The problem is if you don’t differentiate early on, you can end up getting herded into places you don’t want to be chasing every shiny object.
-You seem to already understand that you have to niche down in order to be successful.
Heck, even Mitch Stephen recognized that he had to get really good at one thing in real estate investing. Once he made it his one thing, he expanded on that one concept and became very successful.
Funny part about his story was he was about to give up when he discovered how to lease option his homes successfully.

Laura Al-Amery a Scam?
Nope, not as far as I can tell.
I couldn’t find any independent reviews, either positive or negative. This always makes me wonder why. However, when I checked at the Better Business Bureau and RipOffReport.com, I found no complaints filed against Al-Amery. That’s a plus.
She definitely is active in the industry and committed to producing regular blogs and videos. She has been at this business for a long time and has a lot of good information to share.
If I were a new investor searching for educational products, I’d check out all of Al-Amery’s free stuff. Based on my confidence level with that, then I might fork out the bucks for the courses.
Good luck!
