New to Investing, wanting to focus on Wholesaling first

[Anthony Edwards]

Hello, I'm Anthony.  I live in Dallas and I'm new to real estate investing.  My focus is on Wholesaling first and later I plan to build a rental portfolio and do fix & flips.  I'm looking to meet and network with experienced investors.  I teach 5th grade Math & Science, so I'm looking to supplement my income thru real estate.  Based on my research, wholesaling is a good way to break into real estate investing.  Any advice or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Anthony

@Anthony Edwards What makes you say wholesaling is a good way to break into real estate investing? It is certainly a great learning experience, but to be a good wholesaler you need to develop a large range of skills, and be prepared to spend $3-5k per deal in marketing unless you have a lot of free time to spend on the cheaper marketing alternatives.
