Real Estate investing education club for college students

[Eric Amzalag]

Hey all,

I'm currently a full time student at UCSB and enrolled in Real Estate classes. I am hoping to start a Real Estate Investing Education club when I return to school this coming fall, and could use some advice in the following areas:

1. My knowledge of real estate investing has some SERIOUS gaps in it. I think it comes from my being young and having a general lack of experience. What resources would you recommend I use (online, blogs, forums, books, conferences, etc.) to fill in those holes?
So far I have read some Rich dad poor dad books (ABC's of real estate), and taken some classes on basics of real estate investing such as cap rates, calculating ROIs, etc. What other topics should I start learning about?

2. Do any of you have any recommendations on how to structure a Real estate investing educational club for young motivated students? If you had the option while in school for something like this, where would you have liked your education to begin?

3. Any learning resource recommendations would be unbelievably valuable to me as well as hopeful club members. I'm really starting from stage 0 here, so any and all advice would be amazing. Hopefully we can use this thread as a general "Beginners resources" thread if it generates enough replies...

Thanks guys! I really appreciate the help and advice and look forward to being an active participant on these forums.
