Hello Forum,

I'm Larry and I'm new here.  I am currently searching for my first deal.  I have only a small amount of capital but excellent credit.

I'm thinking due to my capital restrictions, wholesaling may well be the way to go to build a bankroll.  The end game for us is several cash-flowing properties.

I must admit that I am a novice when it comes to investing.  I've listened to successes, failures, and the in betweens and an ready for my shot.

I currently work as a project manager, full-time, for a large mechanical contractor doing commercial and industrial piping and sheetmetal.  I have what I would consider to be well above average construction aptitude.  Obviously, I see this as a benefit.

If I were to pose questions for feedback they would be.

1.  Does trying to find a wholesale deal(s) to provide capital make sense as a novice with limited resources?  If not, any insight for a better approach?

2.  How can I leverage my construction knowledge right now?  I'm asking now because I could be an asset to a current investor/flipper that may need guidance in that area.

Thanks for your comments in advance and I look forward to joining the community.

Regards,

LY
