CA Real Estate License Study Material

I have finally decided that as an investor gaining direct access to the MLS is necessary for several reasons.

With that said, I am strongly considering a CA Real Estate License.

Given my hectic schedule, it only makes sense to take a certified online course so to squeeze it in on my downtime. There are many programs in existence, and I have done my homework researching the forum and other online outlets. I have yet to decided on one particular school, and I see a lot up sell in many which include "extra material" to ensure passing the exam. I have mixed feelings about this.

I am trying to see if anyone on this forum can share any PDF books, study guides, or other materials they used that helped them pass the exam. Even possibly recommend study material that can be purchased over the internet that is actually worth the buy.

This will help me gage how much I need to study and what type of online schooling package I should purchase.

Thanks in advance!

@David G, 

The best to complete all the classes online is through Allied. I was able to get three of the classes waived from my undergraduate business degree and just had to take : 

Real Estate Appraisal, California Real Estate Principles, Practice, Law, and Finance. 

Try to schedule your exam on Monday and take the RE Trainers CA Saturday / Sunday Crash course review right before the exam. I took course in Santa Ana and took the exam in LA and I found it very beneficial.

Hope this helps.
