@Davion Riley I would identify what area of buy-and-hold real estate you like most then study up on it by researching posts on BP, attending seminars and speaking to people who are in the particular area.

It is a great book, and there's a lot of info in the book about "training" your tenants.

Also check out podcast 55 - I listened to it after I found my lender but the whole time I listened to it I was shaking my head and saying "yea" and "totally" FYI - I looked like a idiot on the train at 7am Victor N. 

The work or task a dog has been trained to provide must be directly related to the person’s disability.

It's best to overcome those tendencies with preparation through studying comparable values and the developing a model that fits your goals.

I've studied lease options before but wasn't sure how buying a property with a lease option already in place would benefit me

Robert, I took my classes in person many years ago so I'm not familiar with the online options.However I do recommend that you contact the RI Association of Realtors at 401-785-3650 as they offer classes to agents and brokers and are probably familiar with which classes are acceptable for your broker application.It looks like they do have some online options, and McKissock is linked from the RIAR online training page at http://www.riareducation.com/ContinuingEd/OnlineTraining/Default.asp so that's a good sign.

That's fine if you want to do that, but extra income should be the last reason you get your license as an investor.And yes, as I suggested above, finding a successful investor and volunteering your time in exchange for on-the-job training is what I would highly recommend for any new investor.

Thus far, my real estate knowledge has been gained through self-study.

I don't do property management and only transact all over the United States.If they are buying in Canada either associate with a commercial firm so you can get trained up or partner with a local person there with experience who can help.
