Brandon from bigger pockets seems to also have this mentality for first time investments as the first property wont make you rich, but will teach you alot to continue building up the momentum.

A license only teaches you how to sell other people's real estate not how to invest.

I have seen hundreds of Real Estate classes out there designed to teach/mentor RE investing, setting up systems, etc. but not sure if it is worth the investment. 

I have done a lot of self teaching and think that I have gained a ton of crucial knowledge. 

I'm trying to read more but mostly I'm just going with the flow of it and found some cool people who are very knowledgeable and graciously willing to teach me things.

I’ll keep in touch with you and would definitely like to join the group of young RE investors that you are mentoring/teaching.

The license just allows the State to hold you accountable for what you do, it does not teach you how to do it.My preferred home inspector does 20 to 25 inspections a week (working 6 days a week).

Representing buyers and sellers is going to teach me the ropes and fund investments.  

Teach them how to analyze properties and give them a list of what you are looking for.
