Getting going

[David Gotthold]

Greetings, 

I just moved up to southern Maryland and am looking to start focusing my spare time into real estate.  I am currently debating on a few options to help me get started.  I am more than likely going to obtain my license to just help gain an understanding of the workings of the real estate business and laws.  I am going to focus on wholesaling and fix and flipping right now. Do you think that working with a real estate agent?  I am just looking for deals right now and I figure that if I find a good one a buyer can be found no problem.  Does this sound like a solid strategy and dodoes anyone have any other advice? I am working through the guides that are on this website as I go.
