Flipping questions from a serious investor

[Jason Callahan]

Hi BP Community!

Happy Thanksgiving All!

I have inherited a large sum of money, mid six figures. I want to change careers and become a full-time REI. I have a few questions that maybe some experience flippers and wholesalers can help me with.

1. Should I get my RE license and become a broker? I have no interest in selling other peoples homes. But would it help me in a flipping and wholesaling career?

2. Is it best to generate your own leads through direct mail, networking and D4D or depend on wholesalers and MLS?

Thats it for now. 

Thanks 

Neil
