Real estate license or wholesales?

[Logan Sherwood]

I am interested in real estate investing by doing rehabbing/fix n flips and buy and holds for rental properties. The problem is I do not have enough reserves built up. I know there are ways to finance these types of investments though hard money loans, private money, subject to and even more. I do though want some type of reserves built up before I actually start investing just to be safe. Can anyone help me out deciding if I should start building reserves by becoming a real estate agent or starting with wholesales?
