Hello Nick!

Welcome to BP! REI is a great way to have a steady flow of cash. Buying and holding is one of the best ways to earn long term. What markets have you been looking into? I know sometimes the CA market can be difficult due to the high cost of living there.

Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions.

Welcome @Nick Tiscareno

It sounds like you have narrowed down a search to figure out what you really want to do within real estate. That is always the hardest part once you get into the real estate investing world. Wholesaling is a good way to make money, bring in capital for the other deals you would want to get into down the road, and it helps with communication with great people that have been in the business for a long time and crush it.

I have not gotten into the realm of Wholesaling, but I hear it can be quite challenging, which is what you are looking for and with an ambitious mind you will be able to conquer the area of investing. You just need to keep the persistence. One guy that has been crushing it for a long time in Wholesaling that lives in Riverside is Aaron Mazzrillo. He has a great podcast, which was Podcast 37.

Good luck!
