Hello, I recently was honorably discharged from The United States Marine Corps. I am looking to break into the real estate investment business, particularly wholesaling. If anyone could give me any tips on how and where to start I'd greatly appreciate it.

@Zane Benson

Welcome to BP, it's a great site.

Have you read the Ultimate Beginner's Guide? It is a great read (plus free).

Why wholesaling? Have you done it before?

How much volume do you want to do? 
Can you sustain if you don't make a sale for the first 6 months?

What kind of market do you plan to target?

Don't forget to make keywords up so you know when someone is talking about your areas of interest.

When you want to tag someone in a post use the @ symbol and start to write their name. A box with their name will pop up and you should click on their name. It will turn blue, like your name did in this post.

When someone writes something you like, you can give them a vote for appreciation.

Good luck & remember
