NEW to RE. What should I do?? (Single family vs REOs)

[Tim Fosque Jr.]

Hello all! I am new to real estate and looking to get started investing in this wonderful industry. I'm currently in grad school studying to get my MBA and want to get started with my investment journey! I've been on the sidelines watching for a while now and think the best way for me to get started is wholesaling. Being in grad school I don't have access to unlimited resources but I don't want this to stop me. I was thinking of wholesaling and was reading up on some REOs and there are a bunch here in my local market. I think this could be a great opportunity but I know this can be tricky, especially working with banks. As someone new to wholesaling should I pursue some of these REO opportunities or stick to finding single family homes?

Any info or advice helps. Thank you all!
