@Phillip Bicker Thank you for the recommendation of Armbrust. I will definitely research it. 

@Kevin Grinstead I was looking at an online course due to my hectic work schedule. I'm currently in sales and have to leave for weeks at a time so in class options may be hard to schedule around but can be done. I appreciate your insight. My main reason is to get the education from the agent perspective and possibly a career option. 

@Chris Lopez Thank you for the warning. Doing all the research on where to take the classes can be overwhelming and over sold. I appreciate the honesty as that is what I'm after. 

@Jean Bolger I have been looking into Macintosh as well. Do you feel that they prepared you well enough? Some reviews have been less than par. I usually do better with videos and physical books if it's anything like the college courses I took online. 

I am looking at getting my Real Estate Agent License. What schools does anyone recommend around the Denver area? Online or in-class? Any suggestions are much appreciated. 

@Jean Bolger

That's something I haven't thought about at first but will definitely put longer holding periods into my numbers. 

I see you're a broker associate as well. If you don't mind me asking where did you go for the schooling? I'm not 100% sure if I will get my License or not but thought the education would be beneficial anyways.   

@Dave Visaya @Bill S. @Veni F. 

I appreciate the help and advice. Thank you. 

Hi I'm Shane. I am 26 and born and raised in Colorado. I am a manufacturers sales rep and graduated CSU.

I don't have any REI experience but looking forward to being an investor. My main interests have been flipping houses, specifically in the rural communities since the Denver Metro has been so hot right now. I have worked with my dad doing interior trim work and my passion for housing has risen from there. My goal is to start flipping houses full time and start getting into rentals.

 I came across Big Pockets researching passive income ideas, read some forums, and thought it would be a great way to learn from other investors. 

Look forward to being a part of the community!
