Are Bigger Pockets Courses Worth It For a Beginner?

[Jared Dewey]

I'm pretty new to real estate, I've recently read How to Invest in Real Estate by Joshua Dorkin and Brendan Turner and am currently reading The House Hacking Strategy by Craig Curelop. I think both of these books have been pretty influential to me learning some more about real estate. I'm complementing buying one of the BiggerPockets real estate boot camps but am unsure if its a worthy investment of around 345 dollars (225 course +3 months of pro membership to get discounted course) or spend 515 to get a year of free pro membership included. In particular I would be taking the Rookie Bootcamp hosted by Ashley Kehr and Tyler Madden. Keep in mind I'm pretty young (17) at the moment and this would be a big purchase considering my low income of typical teenager retail jobs.
