Starting out, what to do?

[Scott Long]

My first attempt at purchasing and selling real estate is on the horizon. I plan to start with wholesaling as I lack experience and read that it's a good way to get started. 

I would like to do the deal start to finish, but I've never done this before. I am very nervous and not sure where I stand exactly. My question is should I just got for it, find a great deal and sell the lead to an experienced wholesaler, or take no profit and volunteer my time to ride along and watch in exchange for the deal information?
