I've been educating myself through the Bigger Pockets forum & podcast along with reading & YouTube University. 

My career goal is to become a doctor and provide pro bono care and health education to women in need.

I am a totally new investor who is currently in the "education" phase of my investment journey.

At the very least, he could fully educate you on every side of Real-estate investing and borrowing. 

You will meet lots of great vendors, wholesalers, title, Realtors® and have access to tons of meet up groups and education.

Good luck and get educated!
