Post: New to REI. Nervous, should I get training?

Hi, friends!

I'm brand new to the world of REI (and to this forum), and just wanted to connect with other like-minded individuals, and hopefully get your advice. I don't yet have any experience, but I'm feverishly trying to learn as much as possible about wholesaling and fix-and-flipping (although, I'm not totally against the idea of rental properties, though).

I have purchased and read quite a few BP books, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to "put all the pieces together" in my mind. Essentially, I'm trying to figure out "how to do the work" of the REI game. I'm currently in a state of "analysis paralysis," mixed with quite a hefty dose of anxiety. My biggest fear is losing a lot of money, as I'm still working a day job and living in an apartment. I understand that investing requires some level of risk, but I've heard horror stories, and I REALLY don't want to make any stupid mistakes that will send me to the poor house.

Because I don't yet have any experience, I'm wondering if I should invest in some kind of training program? If so, does anyone have any good recommendations for Wholesaling and/or Fix-and-Flip training (even better if it's in Tampa)? Would it just be better for me to get a real estate license and figure Wholesaling out on my own? 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. :)

Anyway, I don't yet know anyone on this forum, so feel free to reach out! I look forward to connecting with you! :D

Hello from Tampa, FL, friends!

I'm brand new to the world of REI (and to this forum), and just wanted to connect with other like-minded individuals who are just starting out. I don't yet have any experience, but I'm feverishly trying to learn as much as possible about wholesaling and fix-and-flipping (I'm not totally against the idea of rental properties, though).

I have purchased and read quite a few BP books, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to "put all the pieces together." That said, I'm wondering if I should invest in some kind of training program? If so, does anyone have any good recommendations for Wholesaling and/or Fix-and-Flip training (even better if it's in Tampa)? I don't mind spending a little money on training, but it needs to be legit, practical training.

Anyway, I don't yet know anyone on this forum, so feel free to reach out! I look forward to connecting with you! :D
