Where to start

[John Thies]

I'm needing a place to start. I have selected the areas I would like begin my investing. I would like to mail some letters out but not exactly sure how to go about this process. As for what kind of deals I'm looking for. I don't know. I figure once I got a deal I'd know better how to handle it. Whether I'd wholesale, B&H, or fix and flip! Am I crazy for considering this strategy to find my first deal? Would it be a better idea to use a REA or Craigslist?
