Rehab vs Wholesaling?

[Jim Lally]

I've been weighing the pros and cons of rehabbing vs wholesaling for the past few months but would like to get some opinions from other people about what they have experienced. I'm a newbie to RE and would really like to commit to one strategy at this point. I have a basic understading of the costs involved with both. As a wholesaler my concentration would be on marketing while as a rehabber I need to really understand repair costs. This is an oversimplification of course and I undestand there are a host of other factors to consider as well. After intialy leaning towards wholesaling I feel reabbing may be a good option to start out since that knowledge may ultimately make me a better wholesaler in the long run. Any advice/opinions on this subject would be appreciated. Jim
