You have to try different things and then you will find out what you are really good at. Personally, I started out digging out a few deals a year, rehabbing them myself and selling on the retail market. It kind of sucked to be honest. Yeah, I made money but it took forever, lots of capital was tied up, etc.
Wholesaling and wholetailing worked out great for me. Did over 50k made tons of money. Still do a handful a year but I am heavy into rentals now.
Get your hand in multiple pots and you'll evolve to what works best for you.
