So i sat on the idea for about 6 months doing preliminary research, and then it finally hit me like a quarterback getting sacked at 1st and GOAL: "I'M GOING TO REAL ESTATE SCHOOL, AND I'M GONNA BE A G*D DAMN AGENT."  

I'm extremely motivated and inspired to work my *** off (excuse the language).I've already read tons of articles here and I know what preliminary things I need to start with. i am currently working on a business plan, researching the market and the like.

The bank gave me what they call “preliminary” closing disclosure which legally does not exist.

Any advice on proceeding w/ a preliminary evaluation prior to seeing would be much appreciated.

@Caleb Heimsoth You can use what is called the 50% to run a preliminary estimate of expenses on potential rental purchases.Ex; House rents for $950 assume that you will need to spend $475 to operate said property every month.This is of course just an estimate as there is always an unlimited number of variables at play which will cause your property to perform better or worse than any pro forma at any given point in time.

When he heard that, he was shocked, asked how can I conclude this and wagered that not only will he last a year, he'll be there for several, even ten. 

Obviously this is a simplified transaction void of preliminary title report, title insurance, inspection, BPO, appraisal and escrow fees.So what are the minimum qualifications to get schooled or even mentored in this business?

I have done enough deals with some that the preliminary discussions are often on the order of: this property is in the same neighborhood as the Lincoln Street house.
