Wholesale or surplus overages

As a newbie into RE, I have been doin some research without help. There are 2 business I want to try to get into:

Wholesale or Overages surplus

From what I hear and see RE Agents dislike/Hate wholesalers, I’ve seen aggression on BP towards them like they are a disease or something and my aunt is a RE Agent, I don’t want to clash with her. On the flip side wholesale is said to be a good way to get into RE without the pain in the *** license, and it’s something I can do without cash in hand.

Overages seems like another good ways to get into RE without a license and no cash up front. But the process seems drawn out without an attorney... some even says The the likelihood to get into legal trouble is high if done alone.

I’m at a crossroad... thoughts anyone?

Wholesale is said to be a good way to get into RE by people who are trying to sell books and CDs.

If you think getting a RE license is a pain in the ***, wait until you try to wholesale a house. Sounds like your easiest path into RE might be to team up with your aunt. You'll learn a lot about RE and that knowledge will come in handy when it's time to invest.
