I really can't recommend BP enough, at a very minimum it's teaching me what questions to ask.Good luck!

You should find someone local to teach you the business,step by step.Try attending some local real estate investor meetings and see if there is a training program you can join or a wholesaler who will mentor you as you work for them finding deals.Start off as a bird dog learning to locate potential deals and then watch the wholesaler like a hawk negotiate the contract and make the deal.

@Jason Chan ,Real estate commissions have evolved, and while the old way still exists, there are many many options available to you now.First off, the licensing coursework really only exists to teach you how to pass the licensing test.

And I those I teach have been successful with STR in rural, urban, and touristy locations no matter if faced with unfriendly city ordinances or not.

I am talking about a paid course which offered to teach you how to invest real property secured notes.  

Id be happy to help you out / teach you on some of those things if you'd like, recommend what would be better to contract out.

Obviously college is great for certain careers, but they cannot teach you the art of negotiation or lead generation which is what your first few months/years is in the business.

A few points I would like to make are that FB is now headquartered here which means there are a lot of locals now doing what they teach, which makes the competition quite high.

Paperless Agents, who can teach you the marketing technology who I think could help you.  

This is a bit more art than science, but is the best yardstick you have.Becoming an agent will make it easier to access the info and the training / licencing process should teach you all about comps and how they're used.
