However, with my next move I want to begin my real estate investments so I am dedicating the next few months to learning as much as I can.

Youd be surprised at how quickly you can save a good chunk of money if you are dedicated to living a frugal lifestyle. 

You still have to dedicate a small amount of time every month to "maintaining" your investment. 

@Richard Lema I believe showing up and showing you are dedicated is enough to impress.

We are free from the confines of a traditional work schedule and can really dedicate as much time as is needed to manage and maintain our hopeful real estate business.

I used to rent an apartment where I was dedicated one spot, it drove me insane having to move my car, or wake up my roommate to move their car.

My partners and I have a company dedicated to helping military members get into real estate.

You have to be on the same page and dedicated.

My suggestion - better in time and effort, and money (through the mistakes you going to make), than paying a guru.BP has a whole section dedicated to education and starting up -https://www.biggerpockets.com/intro-to-rei/overviewBetween BP and books and all the other podcasts and blogs available for free, you shouldn't need any paid training - don't fall for that.

Back to the unit though, it's separate from the main building, has it's own entrance off a pathway, actually WAS a "house" at one time (see: https://sf.curbed.com/2015/2/24/9988502/rememberin...) before it was moved to this lot, has it's own dedicated yard, I have a reasonably priced contractor that I took care of in 2008 that makes sure I'm taken care of first when there's work, and my business partner will handle almost all the city paperwork.
