I've been self teaching and gathering as many resources as I can to learn the Wholesaling business in and out.

Please click on the links, give them a read, and share your thoughts in the comments.First is a post that I feel will help not get overwhelmed with the amount of info that is here on BP:https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/5868/52761-the-simple-guide-to-getting-started-on-bpThe second is a post that will help get you focused with your real estate investing goals:https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/5868/52743-im-new-to-bp-any-advice-would-be-appriciatedThe last one is a post that will help you choose an “investor friendly” real estate agent.

Also - could you please point some of the meaningful resources I can use for gaining more insight on the market.

Is an agent the best resource for this, driving around and seeing for myself, or something else?

Ideally, they can provide you with comps and be a resource, but you still need to do all of your own research. 

Currently though, if your buyer is working with an Agent, the Agent should know the market and comps much better than Zillow, and should be able to guide their buyer to what they feel is market value.

Currently seeking mentors and resources that would like to work with a detail-oriented individual.

@Scott Smithhttps://www.ncsha.org/resource/opportunity-zone-fund-directory/Here is a directory for some opportunity zone funds...state and nationwide.

Then work on getting some more rentals (maybe even get an asset based line of credit using this paid off property - the note itself will act as a deterrent) and build more wealth before spending time and resources on LLC.Here is another "rule" - the "2% ASSPRO or CYA rule" - the cost of setting up and maintaining your asset protection should be less than 2% of equity you are trying to protect.

haha Look forward to being a resource for as many people as possible.
