Breaking into the industry... through getting licensed.

[Cesar Rebolledo]

It seems that the basics of wholesaling are the same basics you need to be a real estate agent.  Am I wrong in this assumption?  I am not talking about the legalities of it all, simply the "market, lead gen, qualify individuals, and put into contract" part of it more or less.

To the real estate agents who also wholesale...would you say that the training you received from being an agent helped out your wholesaling business? 

Doesn't it seem that the initial cost of trying to become a wholesaler (mailers, flyers, PPC, ect.), you could just as easily spend on becoming licensed and getting into the industry/community that way?
