Thank you everyone for your response! I am going to check out all of the options and see which one I go with. I do not expect these courses to be fun or exciting in anyway, so I'm not surprised that they are "dry as dust". But I am really excited to begin my education and to learn the in and outs of being an REA. Right now, I'm looking for a job as an unlicensed real estate assistant and I'm hoping someone will take me on to give me a glimpse of what it is like being an REA before I earn a license.

Hi everyone! My name is Julia and I live in Upstate NY. Recently, I've learned quite a bit about real estate investing. My boyfriend has been listening to the BP podcasts for a while and I found myself curious to learn about real estate as well! He just bought his first multifamily property and we are planning to house hack starting in September. We learned so much from BP and with my boyfriend going into RE investing, I decided (after doing my research of course) to become a Real Estate Agent. 

I'm now trying to figure out which online program can best prepare me for the licensing exam. And yes, I have thought about going to an actual class, and though it may be more conducive in terms of social interaction and discipline, I just love the flexibility that online classes offer.

I have been looking into Kaplan's online program. Has anyone taken courses from the Kaplan website, or from any other online program? If so, I would love to hear about your experience(s) and how it prepared you for becoming a real estate agent. 

Thank you!

Hello! I have recently decided that I would like to become a real estate agent, and I was wondering if anyone has a specific book/youtube video/podcast recommendation I should look into. I've watched a handful of BP podcasts, but there is just TOO much information out there to decide (haha first world problems much?). I would greatly appreciate your opinions and recommendations on what helped you get started. 

I already have a few books in mind - The Millionaire Real Estate Agent, Rich Dad Poor Dad, The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing, and I am continuing to listen to more BP podcasts. Thank you!
