wholesaling or flipping homes

[Faye Vio]

Hi, i would like to get some general idea, how long should i keep reading books, forums, following ppls stories on how to wholesale and flip homes? i am in los angeles california. I was not able to take the classes that was offered @ 5oK and therefore, i have been reading on my own and following ppl on social media who are in the works of wholesaling and flipping. I bought my first home last year and want to invest for the future with real estate is what i am gearing towards. Any suggestions?  I am a goo getter with an attitude of show me and I'll learn it. My biggest hurdle I am facing is focusing on reading all the info I see, I guess I'm getting overwhelmed and ready to get started but, I also know, Knowledge is Education and do not want to dive in and Im not ready. One of the books i am reading suggested, for a mentor, therefore, the ppl on social media who are actively doing deals I have embraced them as my mentor, LOL. Your feed back is appreciated and thankful for any info you can give.
