Degree in real estate?

[Alec Fenner]

Hello, I’m new to BiggerPockets and loving it so far and would like to see what some of you think about me getting a degree in real estate. I am 20 years old have $60,000 saved from working on a remodeling crew and living with my parents and would love to start investing now so I can achieve my goal of financial freedom as early as possible. What holds me back is that I feel the research I have done online will not be enough to ensure I am making the right decisions. Do you guys/gals think formal education is a good route to take.

I am from Cincinnati and plan to buy and hold multi family properties.

Thank you in advance for your words of wisdom!
