New member and my first question...

Hey everybody! New to the website and new to REI. I currently live in Lexington, KY and have been in sales for the last 17 yrs mostly in the pharmaceutical industry. That industry continues to evolve (not necessarily in a good way for salespeople) and I want to find a way to supplement my income now with the goal of doing it full-time.

Which leads me to my first question: I have some money I can invest to get started but not sure what avenue to pursue. My initial interest was flipping but as I learn more about wholesaling and buy and holds I'm intrigued by those prospects too.

Any suggestions from you seasoned veterans out there where a newbie with some cash to invest should start?

Thanks and look forward to some sage advice!
