Our real estate coaching and mastermind programs welcome everyone from brand-new agents to seasoned investors scaling multifamily portfolios. Beginners can start with introductory strategy sessions focused on foundational deal-making and mindset, while experienced professionals may qualify for advanced masterminds after a brief 15–30 minute alignment call to ensure goals and group dynamics are a strong fit.

When do classes start?

Classes and cohorts begin immediately after signing the agreement and completing onboarding, typically within 24–48 hours for individual coaching. Mastermind groups launch monthly, with some advanced programs having short 1–2 week waitlists to maintain limited group sizes.

We offer flexible scheduling including weekly one-on-one coaching calls (45–60 minutes), bi-weekly mastermind roundtables, or ad-hoc sessions for urgent deal reviews. All sessions are held via Zoom with recordings available for review.

What if I have a coach already?

Our programs integrate seamlessly with existing coaching by adding peer accountability and fresh perspectives. We begin with a free audit of your progress to identify gaps, then match you with a specialist coach or mastermind aligned with your market and goals. Many clients use us as a next-level accelerator without leaving their current coach.

Why didn't past coaching work?

Many past programs fail due to generic, one-size-fits-all systems that ignore individual market dynamics and personal challenges. Our approach is fully customized to your local regulations, buyer behaviors, deal types, and ambitions. We co-create a roadmap tailored to you rather than imposing cookie-cutter strategies.

Support is unlimited and multi-channel, including daily access to coaches via chat or email, personalized feedback on listings and deals, weekly live Zoom workshops, and entry into exclusive collaboration networks. Extensions or pauses are available for vacations or personal events without penalties.

Entry-level coaching starts at approximately $99 per month, while full masterminds range from $497 to $2,997 for 6–12 months. Core certifications typically last 6–12 months, and advanced investor or diploma tracks may extend 12–24 months. Transparent pricing and payment plans are available.

Our programs work across competitive urban markets, suburban regions, and international locations. We provide proven frameworks with region-specific adjustments for regulations, financing, and buyer trends, enabling success in diverse market conditions.

Small Business Investors

Behind every thriving small business is someone who believed in its potential—and often, that belief came in the form of investment. Small business investors are individuals or groups who provide capital, mentorship, and strategic insight to help founders bring their vision to life.

At Dearonne Bethea’s platform, we help connect ambitious entrepreneurs with small business investors who want to make a difference—while earning a return.

Who Are Small Business Investors?

Small business investors aren’t always sharks in suits. Many are former business owners, professionals, or community-focused individuals looking to invest in passionate people with promising ideas.

These investors typically fund:

Startups and early-stage ventures
Expansion projects for existing businesses
Equipment, inventory, or marketing growth
Strategic partnerships or joint ventures

They offer more than just capital—they bring experience, connections, and long-term commitment.

What Small Business Investors Look For

If you’re hoping to secure investment, you’ll need more than a great idea. Investors want to see that you’re serious, structured, and scalable.
Here’s what they’re looking for:
✔ A clear business model with real revenue potential
✔ Leadership with vision and accountability
✔ Market demand and a competitive edge
✔ Transparent use of funds and financial projections
✔ Exit strategy or long-term return potential
We work with entrepreneurs to refine their pitch, model, and positioning to speak the language of serious investors.

Where to Find Investors for Your Small Business

You don’t need to be on Shark Tank to find the right partner. Here are smart places to start:

Local investor meetups and small business events
Community development networks and incubators
Angel investor groups or small business investment firms
Online platforms like LinkedIn, AngelList, and crowdfunding portals
Personal and professional networks

With the right tools and confidence, you can attract investors who share your values and vision.
