I have been getting education through podcasts, books, and anything i can get my hands on...I am all in!  

Still have it today and was the best education I could have hoped for.  

I live in southern cali and just now studying for my RE license mainly for the education and access to MLS and things like that.

I'd suggesting avoiding REIA groups that charge membership fees, or any "educational" classes that people are trying to make money at.  

You can get years worth of education here from the nicest folks who just want to help others succeed.  

If you end up not wanting to be a Realtor, fine, the education alone is worth it!

I consider it the cost of education, I'll get better each mailing and I'm more educated now along with being an agent.A little advice to those new to direct mail, don't mail it all at once!

I'm just trying to help educate the real estate community and I'm not getting paid to do it so I don't have a vested interest to protect. 

Lori, really not possible, a market cap rate is only used by an appraiser as a rate generally accepted by other investors, which is nothing more than an educated guess of an opinion as actual cap rates are historic and only applicable to each unique investor.

Not someone who you just heard about but a firm with whom you've had a great experience and you can say, first hand, is very educated in this realm.
