1. plan for around 5k a year. also consider you have 90 hours of pre-license and 48 hours of post license to do. those classes post license are given mon-fri 8-5 so youll have to fit those around your work schedule. 2. yes find someone who is doing what you want to do and work under them, or go to  a big box and pay for that education.3.RE investors want a discount and to buy on the cheap.
