consider undergraduate accounting degree, with Real Estate minor, this will give you foundation for anything in CRE, or even for investment banking, then fine tune with graduate school, hard to go back to school once out and earning with monthly expenses/family etcalso, so many online community college classes now available very cheap if you want to explore topics in depthbest wishes and remember success is found in the small overlap of what you enjoy doing, what you are good at doing and what can pay the rent :)

And the long term cash flow in appreciating markets is better bc the rents increase exponentially faster than in stagnant, cheap markets.

@Ashish D.I quit my day job as an electrical engineer from buying tax liens and getting houses for cheap that I turned into rentals.

I wouldn't buy a brand new home from brand new builders that do not have enough experience or those who use cheap material.

You basically fill it with dirt and cheap soil and then plant all on top so someone can have a garden or nice option there.

Jack Bosch and a lot of the land flipper guys who teach it like to have their students buying in the high deserts and remote areas of the Western US  or in FLA like le High Acres etc. this is were cheap land is and land that gets traded constantly at tax sales.. the play for most of them is really simple.buy at tax sale or with direct mail.. for a few grand  re-market them for more and sell on terms and collect monthly payments.. 

A few days ago, I bought a really cheap property in a semirural lower-middle class, but generally safe area.

I also currently follow Tampa Flippers on IG and they just started a mastermind group that is free (or really cheap) and have been sharing a lot of helpful information on flipping that you may be interested in.

Sometimes it's not easy or cheap for Real Estate. 

They are cheap and will save you from future leaks and clogs.
