New investor Chicago

[Jasmine Dixon]

Hello BP, I have been on the site for only 2 days and love it. I've been taking notes since and learned a lot already. You guys are very helpful. I am new to investing and spend most time just trying to absorb as much information as possible, Wholesaling, estimating rehabs, renting, getting pre-approved. I look forward to networking with other beginners, investors and contractors in Chicago soon. I have been told that wholesaling is very hard and I should focus on buy & hold. Can I get some opinions on what strategy is best for a beginner and why? if I do buy and hold I would invest in a MFH.
