Starting in a big city, no money down, turning points

I had to be placed in an uncomfortable position to activate a catalyst. 

My name is Candy. I had been living in San Antonio TX for five years until my marriage hit the fan, I ended up in a shelter and was forced by GOD to come back to NYC where my family is .

I had a state job so in that aspect I was stabled. However, now here in NYC, I am not in a comfortable position. My family sees me as a failure for many reasons... especially since I came back without money (waiting on my last check and to cash out my pension). And yea, I am job hunting.

Many of you know how diff it is to moveout alone in NYC.

At this point of my life, almost 30yrs old, I want to take care of me. Better myself and my future.

My goals are getting into wholesaling (which now I understandv why all the "we buy ugly homes" signs in Texas...) And sub2. I am looking to end up owning an condo to rent out and moving to the Caribbean where I can also invest.

My concerns are not knowing how these two strategies, wholesale and sub2, work in NYC. I also would like to learn how to do the process from afar, say some other state (prob Texas since I know that one) or even outside the NYC county.
