Brand new wannabe investor

[Philip Marzen]

Hello BP network! I'm a brand new real estate agent and have been interested in investing for a long time. I learned a lot about flipping, wholesaling, and renting over the last few years but never had the capital to make anything happen. I would love to make the most money in the fastest amount of time possible (obviously) so that I could then go buy rentals which is my end goal. In the mean time, would it be worth it to look for properties to wholesale in order to build up capital and reach my goal faster? Or would it be best to just focus on building capital through being an agent and keep learning about owning rentals and analyzing deals? In the past I used to chase shiny objects and I always want to try something new, but I know the best thing to do when investing is to make a plan and stick to it. I just want to make my plan move quickly. What does everyone suggest?

Note: I'm most likely going to start with single family homes or a duplex for my first rental because I don't have a ton of money to buy commercial...yet.
