@Mindy Jensen @Shane Daugherty @Alex Capozzolo  I'm grateful for all the info guys. I haven't pulled the trigger just yet. ILL keep you guys posted on my decision and reasoning here soon

Thanks 

@Alex CapozzoloMore than helpful! thanks, That's some great advice. I've been listening to the biggerpockets podcast for a few weeks now, and they had a guest on there by the name of J. Scott and he mentioned the bennies of having your license. Having the access to who the local appraisers, inspectors, investors, r/e agents are. And also the MLS. So at the time it seemed an amazing idea. but I'm still in the stage of "what do I want my first move to be".

The latter part of your advice about seeking out the mentorship of an investor is something that can take me to the next level for sure. We have a family friend that owns multi-family units and I'm trying to think of a way I can get in his world and not seem like some guy that wants to bother him all day with questions! I'm thinking that there is maybe some type of responsibilities I can ask him for with his properties in turn for my relentless onslaught of questions. What is your experience with this? Have you been under mentor before and what might my initial angle be to get in? I was thinking of starting with taking him out for a cup of coffee. 

this all helps. thanks

@Jonathan MinerickThanks for the info. I was researching r/e express because those ads dominated google!   I appreciate your input and time. 

thanks

@Alex CapozzoloThanks for the response.  Big help. I'll look into them right after this reply. I have a couple of questions that may seem silly.  Before enrolling in school did you have any prior knowledge of the housing market? and did you feel any more accomplished/educated after completing the coursework?  I only ask because I've been looking into becoming an investor in the market for the past few weeks and am thinking of aiming for my license for the invaluable amount of info that comes with the license.  At least I think there is more information to be gathered on potential properties with a license? 

thanks for your time  

Good afternoon Bigger Pockets world.  I have recently started educating myself on the housing market. I thought it would be a good start for me to acquire my real estate license.e  As a full time employee in construction, I want to pursue my education through online schooling. Does anybody know of a reputable online school? Has anyone gone this route and how was your experience? thanks
