Wholesaling guidance
Hi everyone I'm the newbie from Tampa/Wesley chapel. I was wondering if anyone can shed some light on the direction I should take for knowing how to wholesale. I'm a people person and I know I have what it takes but I don't have anyone else's footsteps to follow, I read books,listen to podcasts but I just don't know where and who to start with.I've contacted a few MEET UP organizers to get in the mix of all the talk. I'm also not a fan of these hundred dollar seminars/classes I'd rather read a book, does anyone's recommend me to get my RE licence so I can have firm background knowledge or what!!??.Any advice would be headache clearing.Also if anyone is a active member of a RE MEET UP group or REIA meetings in the Wesley chapel area please contact or share information on how to join.

get a RE license first go to work for a training brokerage.. at least learn the lingo how to do contracts etc... then venture off into investing.. or you may just thrive as a RE salesmen.. stumbling around as a wholesaler may seem romantic etc but very tough in this market and because it cost virtually nothing to do it.. its over run with beginners. ( so get educated then see how it goes.)
