Whats best to start being a wholesaler or flipper?

[Paul Wilson]

is it possible to do both?

[Jon Holdman]

Sure.  Seems like the most successful wholesalers are really fix and flippers.  They do a lot of marketing ($10K a month is a number I've heard from a couple of them here) and keep the best deals for themselves.  The skill sets overlap a lot, too.  Both need to know how to determine the value of a property, the cost of making repairs and what repairs are needed in a specific area.
