(OHIO) I am 19, working full time, and need tips for RE education
This is my first post on biggerpockets. I am sorry if I did not categorize this post properly, if it is wrong please let me know and I will delete this post and start a new one in the correct category.
Heres a little bit about me: So im a 19 year old kid named Brad working full time as a CNC machinist in Ohio. I enjoy my job but I don't make much money (roughly 26K/yr). I do some small scale stock market investing in my free time just as a way to save and grow a little of the money I currently make (that AMD graph lookin awesome) but I want a side project that I can do on the weekends. After watching some biggerpockets YouTube videos I wound up here.
So here is the meat of this post. I want to start a side job in real estate. I really want to find some courses that I can take. Preferably online, however I would go to an in-person course if it is only on weekends. I've done a little browsing for online real estate education in Ohio and iv had trouble finding online courses that are less than a couple thousand dollars. I typically learn well when information is organized like it usually is in a classroom setting. Im not very good at googling and learning everything I need to get started on random websites. If anybody has any recommendations on where I can find a well organized course please let me know! I don't really want to spend more than $1,000 on online education, but if that is the only option then I will have to consider it. Thank you to whoever responds. I know this is my first post and there are probably lots of people that make a first post similar to mine but I hope somebody can offer me some assistance and hopefully down the line I can help other people.

Cnc has potential to make good money. I would focus on growing in that aspect.
