Begin Investing or go for an MBA

[Octavio Alvarez]

Hello All, 

My name is Octavio. I've been interested in REI for a good while now, and I've been reading as many articles and books as I can find to get a good grasp on the subject. However, I find myself at a crossroads of sort. I've saved enough money in my bank to put down a good amount for a property(ideally to start out with a wholesale), but Im also considering doing an MBA with a concentration in real estate. I wanted to get other link-minded opinions of whats the best route to take.

I will be honest, with all the book and articles, I still feel a little timid to get started and get a property with all the risks involved. So I look at the MBA as a safer alternative. Even wholesales seem risky, given that I am in the Miami market. 

Any and all advice is welcomed!
