Hello I'm New! Need reviews/advice on RE school.

[Kim Sparks]

Hello,

I am excited to be a part of the Bigger Pockets community! I am new to Real Estate. I have read a few books and read a little about Real Estate principles in California. I am now moving to Tennessee and would like to take an online RE course and get my real estate license to become an agent but also invest as I learn more and gain confidence.

I would appreciate any suggestions & reviews on online real estate courses.

Any other expertise or advice is very much appreciated!

Thank you!

Kim

I would recommend CLI. That is where I got my training. they do both online and live classes. I would highly recommend the live classes.

If I could do it again I would sign up with Keller Williams. Sadly none of the ones I wanted to work at would accept me. Caldwell is the worst. They straight up rub their agents. I don't see how their agents make any money as the desk fees are sky high as well as the other fees and don't even get me started on their split.

Nice. I'm currently looking for a great school in the Nashville area. Wayne, would you say schooling helped you with your wholesaling career?

The school of hard knocks helped me with my wholesaling career schooling did not. I was an investor long before I was an agent. The only thing you will learn in the Realtor class is state law and what you can't do as a realtor. I will say having access to the MLS helped me as a wholesaler but that is about it. My advice to anyone who wants to be an investor is to read everything you can, hang around other investors and go out and do it.
