I have very little fear of failure, probably because I have failed a lot in my life, and it doesn't hurt nearly as bad as the pain of regret.On top of that I have read quite a bit about real estate investing and of course darn near everything on biggerpockets, but there was no analysis paralysis, and I wanted to invest as soon as possible.

I'm going to say that it depends what your goals are in seeking education.Cruising these forums, you'll see stories where people lost money because of what didn't know or didn't know to watch out for.At the same time, you'll find a pervasive and powerful bias against paid education.You'll want to decide for yourself which is the greatest expense: losing money on a deal (may or may not be deductible) or paying for education to help prevent losing money on your deals (deductible as a professional development expense).
