New to whole sale looking on how to get started

[Victor Zelada]

so im brand new to whole sale (real estate investing) all i have been doing is watching youtube videos and learning from sean terry , max maxwell , mark whitten. Etc... But i am searching on how i can get started with the market around my area which is kenosha wisconsin and there arent many people doing whole sales around my area. Can anyone here help me get started by letting me know how i can get started with 

how to know my market better ? How to speak with realtors and get comps ? And how can i use the MLS ? What is the ARV ? what would be the MAO ? how to negotiate and close ?

Or should i just shoot for a real estate liscense and would they teach me everything i need to know ?
