New to real estate in norfolk NE need help getting started

[Austin Sanne]

hi my name is austin. I unfortunatley lost my job recently, but can get it back in a few months. So i thought with this free time i could get into something i might enjoy a little better than slaving away in a wharehouse. Ive been interested in owning property for awhile now but never got too serious until now. I own a home and was thinking about renting it out for about 950-1000/m..i think that might be a good start if i can find the right tenant that doesnt trash the place..thoughts on this?? But anyway ive been reading and watching videos on wholesaling real estate and the concept blew my mind. I would really enjoy getting a deal or 2 going but lack the experience..so i guess my question is, do i just start walking into real estate agencies asking all sorts of newbie questions? Do i just knock on doors offering to sell there house even if theres a real estate agent sign in the yard? Where or how do i get a contract  for everybody to sign? Any advice and feed back is appreciated. thank you!!
