Real estate investing beginner looking to learn

[Brooks McLean]

I have just started learning about real estate investing and I probably have a few years until I can really begin buying properties. I would like to use this time to learn as much as possible. I have read through a couple books such as Bigger Pockents real estate investing and Bigger Pockets How to invest in real estate. I plan to read ABCs of real estate investing, and The Advanced guide to real estate investing  (both part of the Rich Dad series). Are there any other suggestions of things to do to prepare myself? I was looking for courses or other types of learning other than books but wasn’t able to find anything reasonable.
