At least attend some city council meetings where it is on the agent, or talk to your councilperson for advice. 

Or are there training I could attend.  

Hi, I am looking to attend any meetups in Central and North New Jersey.

As others have mentioned, I recommend starting to attend some local meetups here and there just to start brushing shoulders with other brokers, investors, wholesalers, etc. to really get your feet wet without putting money on the line. 

A great way to start is by attending RE events and joining a local investors association.

I will be attending training there that lasts roughly 12 months.

I attend about 10 conferences a year and they have the money to advertise and pay for the booths.

I would fact check this, but I believe that if you are attending school full time and living on campus, this house could still be considered your primary residence.

@Ben Stanley I stayed up late after dinner & spent weekends on my computer, scouting neighborhoods and attend RE investing events.

You can meet local investors by registering to attend real estate events in your area: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521-events-and-happenings6.
