After listening to their sales pitch on how they can teach him to make $50k per deal and give him access to free money to invest in RE without using his own money.

It's just that Realtors don't really teach you how to be an investor.

How do I gain access to the information on Real Estate investing what are some some of the authentic tools available to teach me about Best Markets, Funding, best types of properties andhow to find trustworthy people and resources   as a new Investor

Any experienced and interested parties willing to teach me a thing or two, please feel free to contact me.
