Hey there,First off, I want to thank you for taking the time to read this post.Second, I want to provide some context of what I'm trying to achieve and hopefully that'll help articulate the advice a little better.A little bit about me:- I have never invested in real estate- I've been following the BiggerPockets ecosystem for about 6 months or so now- I've read some of the BiggerPockets Publishing books, but am still reading more and more- I have approximately $30k left over each month that I'd like to start utilizingMy goal is to reach $10k/mo in passive income starting with single-family buy and hold properties. 

Since you are just starting to look into this type of investment strategy, you may want to check out my book Lend to Live published by BiggerPockets last year.

The most important thing you do first is to invest in your self meaning learning, network, get involve with local RE investors organization and most important interactions with others on BP and read the newly mint published BRRRR book.

There's actual data published by respectable organizations.

But neither may be published yet.

There are plenty of published stats from the Real Estate Commission that indicate schools with the highest pass rates and which instructors have the highest pass rates as well.

There's also like a podcast they have on youtube released when they first published it, promoting it.

Have a look at BP's blog where new articles are published every day: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog 4.

Give it a couple years, after books start printing on the strategy and it will be all everyone talks about, after it's a dry well of course like most post-publishing strategies.
