How long does it take.....

[Pedro Plascencia]

I'm new to wholesaling and investing, although I have enough of a background and have been studying it for a while and understand much of it; just haven't done it.

I've been self-employed for a few years now and work has slowed down to nearly nothing. We have enough savings to get us through about 2-3 months. I'm at a point where I can make the decision to jump in full force into wholesaling and into other type of deals.

I'm curious. Realistically, how long does it take a newbie working at wholesaling, marketing, making calls, and making offers full time and them some to start making money? My other option is to start another business doing contracting and repair work full time, and begin wholesaling part time in the afternoons & evenings. It seems that the more time and focus I'm able to put into wholesaling, the better chance I might have for success. Don't want to end up dry in the water either.
