Here is a link for Washington: https://www.dol.wa.gov/business/realestate/As for CRE education, start with a good book.

I’m just starting out, sifting through threads, reading books, watching YouTube, listening to podcasts, and swimming in ponds of RE stuff.

.- you can google hard money lender and they will pop up if you want to go that way.There are tons of others, there are a lot of resources on the site and books that go into depth like the ultimate guide BP puts out.Good luck!!

After months of listening to every single BP podcast, reading all the BP books and countless posts, I finally closed on a 3-flat in Chicago that I’m house hacking.

My job lets me listen to 20-30 hours of podcast a week and I've been churning through various real-estate podcasts and books for over a year now and I figured it was time to jump in the forums and start having a real conversation.As an electrician I've done just about everything in residential from new to old, giant apartment buildings to picker cabins. if anyone has a question I'm happy to help. for now I'm going to dive into the forums and help as much as I can.

I was taken aback by the sheer Income potential that was compounding in someone else’s account while I was sitting on their balcony...the calendar was booked the week before me, and the week after we were set to leave...assuming everyone paid the same rate I did...I was blown away by the $6000/month earning potential...Does anyone here have experience  with this sort of real estate investing? 

And, it's cost them more than book value!]

However, from an asset management perspective, it seems like it is not wise to pull out all of the equity because you'll be over-leveraged with tons of debt on the books.

Listen to 200 podcasts and read several books before continuing.Then find a good deal and pitch it to people.

I just recently picked up Brandon Turners book on Rental Property Investing and have been listening to the BiggerPockets pod cast daily.
