No real way to start...

[Shante Harris]

I'm assuming that there is no real way to start wholesaling except to jump right on in, get going, and make mistakes to learn from if any. I've tried to find a step by step method and also wanted to start off doing it the right way so I can build a solid foundation but it seems there is just no real way to get started. "Ain't nothin' to it, but to do it." 

A mentor would be nice right about now, but I'm just going to trust in the extensive amount of literature that I've read over the months and believe in myself. Any last words of wisdom or encouragement would be greatly appreciated.

Wholesalers who don't know what they are doing hurt sellers.  Real world hurt, of real people.  And that hurts the industry as a whole as well.

Come now.  Agents do a world of hurt.  Low barrier to entry to become "licensed" by a government agency.  Bad valuations, bad advice, bad customer service.  No way for the consumer to evaluate said bad service.  Just bad.  And then the good ones? They can be so good.

True of every profession, in every industry.  Don't get your panties in a knot about wholesalers.  There are way fewer wholesalers than bad agents, bad lawyers and bad insurance agents.
