New member for Mass - Looking for insite

[Mike Winters]

Hey to All. I have been visiting this site for a while and the wealth of info is amazing. I am interested in getting into rental real estate as a second half of life career in a state we are planning to move to in 2016. I have no actionable knowledge, other than reading books and this website so far and am trying to be productive while in my current area. I have the time and funds to take a pre-license real estate course next month. Wondering if a course like this is beneficial when perusing rentals or is it just geared toward getting your license which I probably not be acquiring.

Glad to be here and thank you for you input
