I like your strategy, I am one of the larger wholesalers in the Mid Atlantic region but still elect to work a full time corp gig. I am a labor lawyer turned HR professional and used the income from my 6 figure corp gig to build my wholesale business. Your challenge is you don't have steady income with your full time endeavor. I do not want to deter you from wholesaling , it's a phenomenal low risk investment strategy for newbies, however like many of respondents remarked it may take time to build your business. Read everything you can on the wholesale real estate investing, listen to podcast, attend local REI meetings, but more importantly take massive action every day. e.g bandit signs, yellow letters , walking/driving for dollars...etc. The other pieces of the puzzle will come togther once you have a deal.
No man is an island onto himself, once you become adept at this, build a team to grow your business. Many years used my wholesale money to buy a tri plex FHA, lived in it for the requiste period(wink) and build from there.
I grew up in Newark NJ but eventually lived in Summit and Short Hills, so best wishes to you, keep grinding, it will eventually pay off.
