With only a third grade education due to having to work to help his Mom support the family, He was able to leave his children a Triplex, a 5 unit mixed use and a 2 family home.  

The more units turn and burn the higher the repairs and the less cash flow.If local and you can get non-recourse and walk away if it doesn't work out then maybe you would at least get an education out of it for your time.

I currently coordinate Educational groups for the Local REIA's here in Philadelphia.

Does anyone on here have a recommendation for online education to get my license for Texas?

I currently coordinate Real Estate Educational Networking Events in Philadelphia.

I'm educating myself now not only through a higher education but also by learning about financial intelligence and becoming financially literate so I will have a brighter future.

I always recommend to new investors that the best education you can give yourself (above any seminar, book, class, etc...) is to buy a property or learn from a mentor in a JV partnership on a specific deal.  

An experienced investor will quickly educate the seller as to market value.

Ok, so i have been educating myself on real estate investing for a little over a while now.

I suggest you learn the business first (which a license will NOT prepare you to do) before tackling more sophisticated principals.I will be selling one of my probate properties, which happens to be in RC, in several months however my agent gas been selected as he is an expert in selling properties requiring court confirmation.The best ROI you'll ever get is from continuing your education.
