Along with real estate illusions of just let me teach you and you will be rich in no time..really depends on the student.. you can have 25 taking a class and 5 will excell 15 might trundle along at 5 will do nothing. its not easy without capital or access to partners with capital when your starting out.

Excellent advice, @Dmitriy Fomichenko thanks for all of the great resources you shared.

@Masa MoromisatoShorten the distance, if you need you have cash now, a MF syndication can be a good outlet it would mitigate your need to get financing, banks right now will only tighten the belt in the coming months, you have a high risk for just buying 1 or 2 houses for cash, depending on the markets you looking at it will dictate if you buying for cash flow or appreciation (Midwest Is a good consistent cash flow machine with limited value volotility)If you are looking for a steady return a syndication deal may be an excellent avenue and all you to build back some strength in lending and capital in the mean time.PM me any further questions
