Hi @Scot Howat, Thanks for the response. To answer your question, from my limited knowledge of REI so far, wholesaling seemed like it made the most sense for me as it doesn't require funding to get a flip done, not to mention I don't know much about rehabbing and not sure I want to start dealing with GCs as a newbie in the biz. From what I've been learning through reading books, listening to BP podcasts, etc the steps of a wholesale deal are similar to the initial steps of doing a flip - find a motivated seller and enter into contract leaving enough room to make a profit. Instead of doing the rehab myself and taking on the project...to me it sounds easier at this point to find a buyer and start making some cash. Ultimately I'd like to build up some cashflow to start doing flips and get some buy and holds but I'm just not there yet.
While I'm sure wholesaling isn't easy, from what I've heard so far it's a good first step. If you disagree I'm interested in hearing your thoughts/feedback.
