Education in Illinois

[Marialinda Contreras]

I am very interested in starting out in Real Estate. My goal is to start a real estate business. I would like to own a few rental properties, do fix and flips and wholesaling. I have been to numerous "workshops" that promise to teach you what you need to get started however, I am pretty sure there is a lot more information to learn then the 3-day training's they promise.

So my question is, are these workshops any good? Are they worth the money? Is there any other place were I can get educated that you found useful?

Also, I live in Illinois. I was wondering if I needed any type of license or certificate to do any real estate deals?

Thank you for your advice in advanced.
