How to start?

[Astante James]

Hi All,

I've been on the sidelines watching the game for far too long. I started out as an electrician apprentice so I never had the capital, I tried to do my own multi-family FHA and got scammed out of all the little money I had for closing. Now Im back at the drawing board and over my fears, however I need the capital. Working as a handyman gets me thr connections for later in the game when I'm ready for the BRRRR, but not the money I'll need a not fast enough. I have been doing my research about wholesale and feel that is my best option. I'm not sure where to start. I've been looking at "ugly" houses and trying to find the leads but I feel like I'm just spinning my wheels. Any advice? I'd greatly appreciate any insight. Thanks guys.
