For example, many times when you wholesale you might be wholesaling to buy-and-hold investors - it will help you identify good properties for them, and talk to them, if you have a little landlording under your belt too.And I mentioned it in the other post but can't help repeating myself, consider going to a local real estate group such as RIREIG in RI or Black Diamond REI in southern MA.

Being in Worcester first thing to check out is the Black Diamond meeting there (2nd location in Waltham).  

Ann also runs a great meeting, Black Diamond, in Waltham.  

Hello, my name is Diamond Maddox, I am 27 years old eager to learn about real estate investing I have been researching for years but no real guidance My mother passed at a young age I became motherless at 12 years old she didn't get to be there for the times I needed her.

Quote from @Andrew Diamond: If you can't see the inside of a foreclosed property, how do you estimate the cost of rehab and ARV?

The NNN market for diamond type properties has high demand.We often have to go up against all cash buyers for the best assets.Less down you likely have to take on problem properties and get a partner.

Perfect houses are like perfect diamonds. the more boxes they check off for desirability the more expensive they are; and that expense ratio is not linear, its exponential. 

It's just more of a challenge to find the diamond in the rough (and sometimes you have to make your own diamond :) Good hunting!
