I am mostly interested in learning about out of state BRRRR investing and about finance careers in the real estate industry.

I know for certain that Real Estate is where I want to be and I thought about getting my Agent's License as a way to make some money, learn more about the industry and get direct access to the MLS for finding deals.

My thoughts are for your situation: - there must be other people in the movie industry who are making good cash that could partner with you if you spend the time to learn how to analyze and find good deals- When you do get busy, save as much as you can to put towards an investment purchase yourself- house hacking if done right, could significantly bring down your home costs, which would allow you start while living for cheaper/free and pursuing your filmmaking dreams!

You cant so much for $20 bucks these days.A lot of things he does seem capricious and without research (for example, his proposed "7-round mag" for rifles-expecting the entire industry to alter their products just for him). 

This way you can learn the industry and educate yourself while saving money to eventually start your own career.
