I had no money to put down on any properties, so I learned (a lot) and put in a lot of hard work and effort to get some properties under contract.Initially, I had no clue what I was doing, but I had the help of some people (and I appreciated that)I made mistakes that cost me around $30k (lost a deal due to my ignorance regarding title and escrow)The good news with wholesaling is that it doesn't take a lot of capital upfront, and you can start talking to sellers and learn about the industry in general.The other good news is that you can without a doubt generate revenue quickly if you do things correctly (having a good TC / title / escrow connection that keeps deals moving on the backend)That said, there are a few points that I've come to live by:1.

It is a better place to invest because of the college and local industry.

That is going to be the best way to meet others in the industry from that market. 

If you’re looking to invest in your backyard, it helps to network with as many locals in the industry as you can.

There are other ways to be part of the real estate industry besides being an investor and those may be more financially advantageous for you. 

We are leaning more toward Johnson City just due to location, size, and economy/industries that are there.
