Looking for a wholesaling mentoring for my 15 year old son

I'm writing this post for my 15-year-old son that wants to get into wholesaling but has no real-world experience yet. Here is a real go-getter, and since I have no background in this part of the market. I was tossing this out to the BP group to see if anyone had some contacts I can have my son reach out to. I look forward to any help one can give.

    @Andrew Strauss Please encourage your son to go a different route. Wholesaling typically attracts people with no other opportunities, education, skills, etc.  I have real estate experience and I would do Everything to stop my son from pursuing this.  There is no substitute for a traditional education, trade or pursuit of a Real career or business.  Even if it was a viable career, he would have issues with the age perception and the fact that he can’t legally contract for real estate as a minor....but to me that is irrelevant due to my first statement.
