There could be some distressed property that a Realtor has listed where they can't get it sold and would work with you, but you'd need to know how to deal with them.You can just skip the basic stuff and head on out, follow some guru or wholesale mentor program, take the low road, bump into problems, have more difficulties, step in it, get pie in your face dealing with other professionals, maybe get a bad reputation and be avoided by others, end up messing over some homeowner, for a few years learning by trial and error, or, you could begin by studying where all the professional types begin and avoid all those issues.
