Quote from @John O'Leary: Hey Remy,I'm not familiar with that program, but I'm a firm believer in paying for education. 

For networking and education, I recommend checking out CIREIA (Central Indiana Real Estate Investors Association).

It will give you their time as a licensed professional, the education they have completed for the current renewal schedule, and any disciplinary action against them.

This will be the best platform to educate yourself on investment strategies.

Thank you for saving me from some unnecessary headaches.On that note, can anyone recommend/endorse a reputable educator with experience in wholesaling?

Bigger Pockets is a great place for education and networking. 

In Philadelphia the fundamentals are strong: leading industries/employers are in the Education and Medical fields which are known to be stable, proximity to NYC and DC, national airport, port city, affordability compared to mid-atlantic predecessors.
