Just Signed Up for Rich Dad "Free Real Estate Workshop" Worth It?

[Charlie Shew]

Hello, Everyone, I am a realtor from Lebanon, TN. The more I learn about real estate the more I want to invest in it. I signed up for the Free Workshop and I wondering if anyone has attended one and have comments? I'm sure they are there to sell stuff but will I learn anything? 

Next question is there a "bible" real estate book I need to read. I have been reading all that I can get my hands on, some seem better than others. 

Most my money is tied up in retirement accounts but it seems like I'd be better off to invest in real estate. My goal would be to start with a smaller 4-8 apartment complex, one that I would manage myself to start. 

I am, however, completely new to this and need to learn a lot more before I take the plunge.
