Do i need a real estate course or just an agent to help me?

[Ivan S.]

Hi, i was wondering, do i need a real estate course or can i just find a real estate agent that knows everything and can show me a home to put a down payment on and then just rent it out to someone?

1. I figured that an agent can find me a good house

2. and then maybe she could check for liens etc

3. and then get find someone for me to do a inspection on the house etc, or do i need to go through a real estate course and learn more. I do know a little bit since i did go through a basic contract flipping course.

I just thought a real estate agent could help with all of it. Figured they would know everything and have connections to people etc to get things done for me.

Anyone ever have a real estate agent do most of this for you or is it impossible to do it the way i want i described?

Thanks for all your help :)
