Beginning the Wholesale business...

[Steve Wilson]

Hello everyone here at the BiggerPockets community. I am glad to be here.
My name is Steve E. Wilson. I am just getting started in the real estate investor business. I have been studing a great deal about this business & would like to start in the wholesaling business. I also have visited and introduce myself to few real estate agent here in NY as well as analyzing my surrounding area. I ran across a few "For Sale" signs in different areas. Also distress homes in need of flipping/rehabbing. To tell you the truth, I just don't know how to begin or who to contact first. What should I be doing first?
Thank you in advance
