To conclude, as some of the posters have suggested, learn a particular Real Estate strategy and immersed yourself into that strategy and then you will find yourself talking the RE talks and with persistence start closing wholesale deals. 

I'd suggest you start immersing yourself in the RE investing world in order to see what type of strategies you like to invest in and what you enjoy doing in RE investing.

So I started immersing myself in everything.

Immerse yourself in the areas you are considering.

I want to get my feet wet in wholesaling and eventually become immersed in the real estate business.

Couple of things:Mitigate the risks of losing some of this capital by immersing yourself in whatever asset class (real estate and/or crypto) you decide to go with, especially now that many people will bring you "ideas" (be extremely patient)Take a long-term view and never invest in GRQ [Get Real Quick] schemes. 

While I am relatively inexperienced in the real estate investing realm, quite a few of my family members have some experience ranging from dabbling to fully immersed, so I have soaked up some things along the way.

I built mine myself using a website builder through GoDaddy, and even though it's a good site I'd like it to be more immersive.

I've really immersed myself in real estate and can't wait to build my portfolio.

As others have said, do a ton of research and find local REI's, meetups and other events to immerse yourself in.You've got a leg up on many of the folks on here in the DMV.
