Paying for real estate education

[Heidy Luna]

Hello.  I am just getting started on the real estate business.  I have no knowledge of it,  just reading some books now. I had attended a workshop about investing in real estate, but this people want to charge between $30k to 50K to mentor you and guide you thru this business...  Is this a normal amount of money that most staring investor will pay? Or am I the only one that thinks is way too much?
