Investing while renting?!

[Mike Greenwood]

Hey BiggerPockets! I recently became a pro member and I’m looking to begin my real estate investing journey! The catch is, I just signed a 12 month lease in the Milwaukee area because I was relocated for my job. I want to begin my investing as soon as possible. So with that said I’m unsure which direction to take. My big picture goals for real estate is long term rental properties and flips. However in my current living situation I don’t believe either of those would be a good option to start with. I have been researching wholesaling and believe that wholesaling may be a better opportunity to get started at least in the short term. Has anyone been in this situation or done something similar? Any advice from the BiggerPockets community will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
