Buying from whole salers and forclosures

[Dave R Ludolph]

I'm wondering if I want to buy from a whole saler of if I want to buy forclosures that I would be able to get money to them quick enough if I wanted to get loans from my 401k, home equity credit, or hard money. I have literally 0 experience of buying properties other than traditional financing for my current home I live in and I'm just getting started in my educational journey on investing in real estate. On a side note any books suggestions are welcome. :)
