How did you get started in Long-Term Real Estate Investing or Wholesaling?

[Kaylyn Schroka]

I am new to Real Estate, I have been watching YouTube Videos, reading BP forums and reading books on Real Estate. I am eager to start my Real Estate journey, but having trouble starting. 

I recently moved from Michigan to Colorado (staying for a few years). I was planning on getting started in investing in long-term rental properties, but, since moving to Colorado, I am slowly pivoting towards wholesaling properties. The reason is, I would be able to get my feet wet in Real Estate while living in Colorado, yet be able to wholesale properties in Michigan (I am more familiar with the market).

I would love to get any advice or hear anyone's story on how they got started in Long-Term Real Estate Investing or Wholesaling. Thanks!
