Can I write off my education?

[Stephanie Cessna]

I am brand new to the investing game and have been working on developing systems and educating myself as much as I can while I am actively seeking out rental properties. I have yet to form a sole proprietorship or an LLC and I was waiting until I actually had something to protect. But does it make sense to form one now so that I can write off all of the money that I'm spending on education and developing systems?? Thanks in advance for any advice!
