Trust me, I DO plan on actually getting an education in real estate to get my RE license but just not for wholesaling since it’s not required.Thanks for all of the knowledge, except for the unnecessary part of calling me uneducated."... not being educated" refers to REI education - the stuff they DON'T teach in school, not general academic learning.

The training, even though it includes actual operation of the facilities of the employer, is similar to what would be given in a vocational school or academic educational instruction; 2.

I nudge people away from FHA whenever I can simply because it's all academic if you can't get the offer accepted. 

The academic life was good but it did not prepare me adequately for the real life grind of 80-100 hour weeks slaving away at top-tier banks. 

Of course I read and do a lot of self-educating, but I feel a few structured course from reputable academic institution (under 10k) couldn't hurt.  

I work in an industry (day job) that works primarily with academics.

There are three types of education: Academic, Professional, and Financial.

I will be leaving my current job as an academic for personal reasons so I'm looking for cashflow with less risk to supplement my income until I decide what to do next.

Preparation and knowledge is key, but then you have to follow it up with applying what you've learned, or it's all just academic.
