Is inspection, appraisal, real estate classes worth it

As I Aspire to become a BRRRR investor and continue to learn and educate myself, I am looking for advice on what areas would be most helpful in my endeavors. Besides my current readings, podcasting, forums like this, and attending local meetups, I have the time and money to invest in education at this point, what would be the best educational preparation to seek between inspection courses, appraisal courses, and real estate agent courses? I was thinking of doing real estate classes in order to learn how to do comparative market analyses, access the MLS directly, etc, and inspection classes in order to have some basic knowledge when I begin walking through my homes to gauge problems and the extent of my rehabs.

I was enrolled and doing my MBA when I decided to pursue this avenue of investing instead, so the money I was paying out of pocket to cover MBA courses could instead be used towards educational content in real estate investing. So, I believe the time, money, and effort used for the MBA classes could be better used elsewhere to focus on becoming a successful investor. any advice?

Team = Realtor/Deal Finder, Lender, Property Manger, Contractor etc.  Leverage others systems = who in the team already has that all in place?  Find that rockstar, don't reinvent the wheel, incentivize the heck out of them, and take your time back
