with hopes of getting into the real estate investment field, what type of real estate class(es) would be best for me? i'm talking about the type of real estate classes offered at the typical community college (classes ranging from real estate principles to escrow).i will eventually try for a real estates license, but for now, i'd like to take one or two courses that will give me the most and best information on how to work in the real estate investment field.

Real estate classes at the community college are probably fine. Just make sure they are accredited and that they will count as credit for the license. Call the Board of Realtors in your area and ask what requirements are to be licensed in your state. The rules vary from state to state. If you want to test the waters, I would start with Real Estate Principles and Practices I and then take Real Estate Law. Those two courses will give you a nice overview.
Real Estate Law will be your best course. After that, depending on what type of investing a Land Use Planning course would also be beneficial. Principles is pretty much a prerequisite to a license in most states or if not, to your first license renewal. Once licensed, a definite must take class would be short sales and foreclosures, which many title companies offer for a nominal fee to licensed agents. Also 1031 tax exchange. You can google YourState Department of Real Estate Licensing to find your state's licensing requirements.
