Would love to see an example of some real life qualifying activities and what you're including.Please keep in mind that research and education hours do not count by themselves! 

Looking for some input...I'm working on educating myself more when it comes to various tax benefits and trying to decide what would be the best route for me moving forward.

My piece of advice would be to try to take advantage of as much free education as possible with podcasts, forums like these, YouTube, and other real estate investors.

Pull your tenant-landlord laws for your area and arm yourself with as much education as you can about being a first time landlord. 

@John Lasher I considered it education, like a certification or minor degree.

Bigger Pockets is a great place for education and networking and is full of great content.I recommend that you check out the following resources:1.

If you're a landlord, then you'll want to educate yourself on the local laws.

I am looking to join a mentorship program to help lower my learning curve and until I find it, I am educating myself with books, as well as YouTube University and great advice from the BiggerPockets community.I do work full-time in a career that I love and is very rewarding, but I also know I won't attain my goals with my current job.

I'm reading books and listening to podcasts and such but having someone I can shadow is a more valuable educational experience.

I've been on this platform for many years and, over the years, I've seen new members linked or part to Mexican real estate agencies posting educational content about investing in Mexico out of the blue shortly after becoming new members and then disappear as they realized that their efforts wasn't giving them the amount of business they were hoping for.
