I'd avoid the local RENC. The whole purpose of the membership and 3 day workshop is to up-sell you to something else you don't need. BiggerPockets is a phenomenal resource. You're doing the right thing by utilizing the site, its resources and the forum to learn more.
I'd recommend looking into what other local organizations there are out there with members of the site or other real estate investors who you can connect with but don't have to shovel out thousands of dollars to learn the ropes. Save that money for your first deal, you're going to need it. Plus you'll learn more from doing that first deal than any kind of crash course you can take. There's no substitute for experience, regardless of if you're shelling out big money to learn the business or if you're making use of podcasts, books, YouTube, etc.
