Do I need to start off in RE wholesaling by paid mentorship?

[Steven Brown]

I'm really interested in getting into RE wholesaling and I have a lots of questions, I'm saw someone who was already doing it on instagram and I DM'd them to see what I need to do to get start or even just to ask questions but he responded with a pre recorded video explaining cost and packages for his mentoring. Is this a viable route to take? I really want to make a career of REI specifically in wholesaling, then buy and holds and or flips but I'm not sure where to start? Any advice is appreciated
