If you haven't already I would strongly recommend reading the education guides available at BP.

If it seems like a good spot, then I don't see the problem in getting educated, trained, and working with them in the future but at the end of the day its up to you. 

BP has been quite educational and helpful.

Like I previously mentioned, I will take any and all information I can get at this point (especially for free), but your advice to stay grounded and prepared to be enticed into further educational material (and costs) has been heeded.  

I'll try to answer your questions as best I can but keep in mind I'm new too.1) In my opinion, Mentor (someone who is where you are trying to get in the next 12 months) and meet 3 or 4 mentors if you can.Lawyer who will answer as many questions as you can come up with and has the heart of a teacher...also has to focus on real estate lawTax Advisor who, again, will answer as many questions as you can come up with and has the heart of a teacher...has to focus on preparing investment properties' tax returns2)  I've been talking to a lot of people (friends, acquaintances, strangers) lately and I'm just making sure they are currently investing in real estate and they are 1 or 2 steps ahead of me on the journey (own 5-20 units and self-manage).  

If you don't mind, give me a call at the office and I'd be happy to help you get started here, help you achieve your goals and refer outlets for education and networking and other professionals.

First education, a CPCU or CIC is preferred in hiring by any insurer, and should be preferred by you.
