Hello BP,

My name's Nick  and I'm 27yrs old currently residing in Riverside CA as a Composite Fabricator.   I just finished reading 'The Ultimate Beginners Guide to Real Estate Investing'. Great ebook by the way.   

My interest for now is wholesaling, to me it seems more of a challenge and since my credit and financial are not so good I think it's an easier option. But long term I would like to have passive income from buying and holding that I can retire early from. 

Glad I came across Bigger Pockets always wanted to become a real estate investor.

Welcome @Nick Tiscareno

It sounds like you have narrowed down a search to figure out what you really want to do within real estate. That is always the hardest part once you get into the real estate investing world. Wholesaling is a good way to make money, bring in capital for the other deals you would want to get into down the road, and it helps with communication with great people that have been in the business for a long time and crush it.

I have not gotten into the realm of Wholesaling, but I hear it can be quite challenging, which is what you are looking for and with an ambitious mind you will be able to conquer the area of investing. You just need to keep the persistence. One guy that has been crushing it for a long time in Wholesaling that lives in Riverside is Aaron Mazzrillo. He has a great podcast, which was Podcast 37.

Good luck!
