Locked in a Location

[Tramone Russell]

Hello all just a quick question: Does getting involved in Real Estate mean that you are locked where you live? I know that the city I live in doesn't have the best real estate market and also I know that within the next couple of years I will be leaving this city. I absolutely need to get started learning and getting experience as soon as possible, but I'm worried that if I begin to get involved in real estate in my area that I will be stuck here. Does anyone have some insight? Also if anyone can point me in a direction of learning materials? 

Appreciation to anyone who takes the time to read
