If you can become friends with someone with a license who looks at dumps, they would love company on some of those trips and a potential client as you learn.

Over the past several years I've tried to educate myself on the logistics of buying and managing a house as an investment and attempted to learn from other peoples experiences in REI.

I learned a small portion of this method from Tom Cruz, a section 8 Guru.

It’s too much to put in a simple post on here but if you want to learn and get good at it, you can take some appraisal classes.

The main downside to syndications is the high minimum investment ($50K+) and learning how to vet syndicators.

I would suggest you learn how to manage money before you invest the money.

Lessons learned?

I was pointed to this website to further learn about real estate investing.
