Become a Realtor or a wholesaler?

[Michael Gorley]

Hey BP!

a bit of background to frame my question.

I live in Ottawa Canada (expensive market) and my father is a Realtor on a great team in the city.

I am looking to do BRRRR deals on small multifamily properties and am looking at investing outside of the city to start, because the lower priced area offers much better cashflow to starting out.

My question is : to raise the capital required for purchasing and renovating my first BRRRR and to kick start my momentum into real estate, should I get my licence and become a realtor like my father or dedicate my time to wholesaling and creating a wholesaling business. I know that deciding to start is more important than deciding where to start, however I'm curious about what the BP community thinks. Thanks!
