@Kyle BuckWelcome to BiggerPockets. well done on the action (first post) and great reasons (unlimited income) to be involved in rei

Joshua, First great job with taking action!

That said, taking action on a well vetted plan is key as well.

I recommend finding someone who best fits what you are looking for and take massive action..

Maybe folks that take 'massive action' can be more helpful.   

I am a newbie and interested in learning more about wholesaling as well.I listened to this BiggerPockets podcast the other day and it was very encouraging about how overwhelming everything can be. http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2015/04/02/bp-podcast-116-how-to-quit-job-through-wholesaling-flipping-taking-action-with-nasar-elarabi/Check out other podcasts under the "Learn" tab, too!

I just want to be around the action and learn as much as I can.

Do what makes you happy and people who are meant to be in your life will be in your life.Personal action I took: Buy a white board.
