Wholesaling a good place to start?

[Michael Morgan]

I have just recently joined the BP community looking for education, information, and networking to help me get going in the RE investing arena.  I currently am working in the transportation/ logistics industry and have no formal experience with real estate.  I have been doing a lot of research on wholesaling/ reverse wholesaling and it seems that a lot of people would advocate starting there, but then again there are also a lot of people who say to NOT start out wholesaling.

I am currently just trying to educate myself as much as possible and see what may be the best fit for me starting out.  I am in the Indianapolis area and would love to wholesale (or at least I believe I would like to), but am just not sure if that would be the right place to start out or not.

Any and all advice or tips to getting started would be greatly appreciated!

*Also, I am looking to get started out part-time since I still have my 9-5 and plan on keeping it for the time being (until I don't need it anymore)

Thanks in advance.
