Wholesaling to build capital?

[Michael Matasich]

I aspire to buy and hold single family homes and small multi-families.  But my wife and I are saving to buy land and build a home for our family.  Therefore, I do not have the disposable cash to put down on my first real estate deal.  Plus, I do not want to ding my credit by borrowing for a rental before we apply for the construction loan next spring (2018).

Is wholesaling a good way to build capital that I can use for my first investment deal? Thank you.
