Just Starting in Santa Barbara, CA

[Craig McGowan]

Hello everyone! While finishing up my education at beautiful UCLA, I've recently decided follow my family's footsteps and dive into the world of real estate. With both my father and grandfather having long real estate careers here, I am hoping to learn from their experience as well as tap into the vast knowledge of you all here on biggerpockets to aid me in my journey. My immediate goals are to learn as much as possible while building up some capital of my own, and my 10-15 year goal is to create a passive income through multiple real estate investments.

Now for my first question! Do you all feel there is any advantage to taking an in-person real estate course to get my license as opposed to an online course? From what I've gathered it appears the best advice is to simply get your salesperson license either way then start getting experience. Thanks in advance for your responses! I'll be sure to check this thread in later today.
