Feeling Frustrated and Seeking Advice

[Account Closed]

I am feeling frustrated and trying to figure out my next step. I started in real estate as an agent in 2009 with Keller Williams. Let my license expire in a difficult time in my life. Took all the steps to renew my license this year. This time around I wanted to do traditional real estate and learn all all I can to work with investors and invest in real estate for myself. Have considered doing wholesaling as well. Hanging my license with a boutique real estate office that would embrace real estate investing and allow me to wholesale would be ideal. 

I continue to wait around on others to respond and want to get started on my real estate career and investing. Any advice you may provide me with these challenges is greatly appreciated. Thank you, Margaret

Challenges: 

Finding a boutique local broker that is or has an agent that would be a mentor for investing/wholesaling hasn't panned out for me. Some brokers don't want you to do wholesaling. Mostly, these brokers don't have the time or an agent to mentor me. 

I have looked into many wholesaling programs and they want anywhere from 5k-20K. Is it necessary to pay that much money? Is there another way to learn wholesaling and be successful?
