@Kelvin RichardsYou need a PHD from Yale, I think another Ivy League school may be OK but chances are slimmer. Outside of that you won’t find any success.
Never mind scratch that. All you need is hustle and a lot of it. Do educate yourself though. Read as much as possible and educate yourself on your market. Get very familiar with pricing and you will be running numbers in your head and be able to make decisions quickly. That is a key to success, being able to figure out if a deal is a deal in a couple minutes.
Reach out if you would like to chat. Always love talking real estate with people.

In most cases, you don't require a degree to become a real estate agent, but it does help potential career job seekers stay competitive and relevant. An associate or bachelor's degree is more than sufficient—perhaps in business, finance, or any other related field.

You will need some street smarts (real life experience) will make you a pro, look into being a TC or assist a local agent go through the process of 2-3 deals if the agent is willing to do that and guide you, then take the classes and the test that’s all you need. Good luck!

Absolutely not, real estate is one of those beautiful things that don't require a masters or any other useless degree. For education I would recommend networking with other investors and watching one bigger pockets podcast a day
You don't need a degree to start in real estate. If you mean buying properties, then you need a job that will allow you to get a mortgage. That job may require a degree.
