Welcome aboard,

You will find plenty of information on this forum to include posts, articles, podcasts, books and contacts both local and national to help you learned more about wholesaling and REI in general. I would start by simply searching your questions on forum posts. Chances are if you have the question, someone else has already asked and and others have answered.

Second knowledge is power, so READ and LISTEN to books/podcasts. This will help your understanding of how REI works, the best strategies, do's and don't and much more.

Another resource available to you in your local REI group. you may be able to find a FB group as well, but finding your local REI group will directly connect you with local investors, agents and wholesalers...novice and veteran who can act as your sounding board or mentors and help you on your way.
