You could also work with a Real Estate agent and get that same information as well. I work with several investors and there are plenty of agents here in town who are investor friendly. Please take the time to keep reading and learning before diving in. I also recommend listening to the podcasts. You will get a lot of valuable information from them.

You are correct about having a mentor and that's a great idea. However, those kind of relationships can be had for much less money by joining a local REIA or as you said partnering with a Realtor (or a couple of realtors). Ideally you should have more than one source to bounce things off of. You want to start developing a team that will help you get things going and take care of properties if you decide to buy/hold, or sell them if you decide to flip. A couple of realtors, lenders, and contractors are all a good idea. And I will stress again that the knowledge you would pay for at legacy education can be had for free just by reading these forums or asking questions as you did here. I'm happy to assist if you have any further questions. Best of luck to you going forward.

The consensus you will hear from almost everyone is to not spend anymore money with them. The three day class does offer some good bits of information, but I would advise against spending more money with them after that. One of the main reasons this site was created was to bring people together to share their experiences and help others grow in their journey of real estate investing. The money you would be spending with them could be used to fund your first deal ( or several ). I would encourage you to keep reading here, attend some of our local investment meetings, and meeting with local pros here in our market to help you develop a plan of action. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any future questions.

Sydnie, I am happy to meet with you and answer any questions you may have. The key to your success will be your knowledge and your confidence in your abilities, not how old or young you look. Every journey has a beginning, so the key when beginning is to be patient. Working with people who are looking to rent is a great way to build your future pipeline up, as well as gain an understanding of the industry. I wish you the best.
