Which strategy is better for gaining experience in RE investing? Also, which is best to build capital to later get into rentals?

Wholesaling has a very low barier to entry. You can get started without any capital.

Flipping you have more risks but the returns are also higher.

I find that a lot of wholesalers have terribly bad deals because they have never flipped themselves.

Imo, you learn a lot more flipping houses.

But having said, wholesaling forces to get in front of people. Marketing yourself and your deals is key for wholesaling.

That is a very valuable skill which we'll come handy if you ever have to raise capital.
