Help starting out?

[Clint Nelson]

I actually came to this forum with a question about renting my house out and found that it propably wasnt the best deal. I am wondering if you were starting in real estate investing, where would you start, wholesaling, flipping properties, renting properties, etc.. Flipping properties always seemed pretty risky to me, assuming that you could buy a property, and with a little work, sometimes no work assuming you can sell it for 10 percent more just seems out there. The rental side seems more stable, but from what I have heard you would need a very large gap between what you buy the property for and the rent you could charge, just looking to learn a little more, any help you can give is appreciated, Thanks.
