Pull your tenant-landlord laws for your area and arm yourself with as much education as you can about being a first time landlord. 

Bigger Pockets is a great place for education and networking and is full of great content.I recommend that you check out the following resources:1.

@John Lasher I considered it education, like a certification or minor degree.

I'm a big fan of value-add opportunities, whether it's buying something currently undervalued & fixing it up to my standards, or buying something that has additional income opportunities that have yet to be incorporated. 

If you're a landlord, then you'll want to educate yourself on the local laws.

I am looking to join a mentorship program to help lower my learning curve and until I find it, I am educating myself with books, as well as YouTube University and great advice from the BiggerPockets community.I do work full-time in a career that I love and is very rewarding, but I also know I won't attain my goals with my current job.

I'm reading books and listening to podcasts and such but having someone I can shadow is a more valuable educational experience.

I've been on this platform for many years and, over the years, I've seen new members linked or part to Mexican real estate agencies posting educational content about investing in Mexico out of the blue shortly after becoming new members and then disappear as they realized that their efforts wasn't giving them the amount of business they were hoping for.

I am using this time to educate myself while saving up for my first property.

The less you "do" the more you have time to educate others.
