Wholesaling or Loan Rep- if someone is just starting in real estate?

[Farley Youman]

A lot of people say wholesaling is the easiest way to go into real estate. Or, would it be easier to start off as a hard money loan rep?

I have asked 30 people in the southeast for an "informal" survey, but wanted to get input from the bigger community on bigger pockets. 

Which one is easier, and why? Thank you.
